Start should be a reserved section tag, not a section name #81

Needing to name the first section Start is restrictive because it inhibits any other naming conventions a Fractive dev might be using. For instance, if all sections in the intro are named Intro0, Intro1, etc, it would be good if the starting section could follow the same convention, but just declare the tag _Start or simply Start.

Oh, and here's another idea: Separate Start sections could be declared for debug vs. production builds, so it's harder to make the mistake of "Oh I just published a build that skips to the final chapter." Start and Debug_Start or something, and when the story starts, it launches to the proper one based on whether the game is running through localhost or a proper url. Thoughts on that?
