Allow chaoshead to generally be able to load any .lhs file #114

I tried to do some scripting stuff on another computer that doesn't have Levelhead today. I got some .lhs files for testing, and I ended up needing to replicate the /PlatformerBuilder/UserData/(profilecode)/Stages directory to put the file in, but Chaoshead still didn't recognize it. After testing, this seems to be because you need a save_data folder (with the correct data about the .lhs files) one level down for CH to be able to see the level.

For this, I think it would be nice if Chaoshead could just open any .lhs file, with a file prompt window like many other windows programs. I don't know if there's any essential data contained in the save_data file that is needed for the reading of the .lhs file, but if there is not, it would be nice to have Chaoshead not be completely dependent on the save_data file to do its main job.

If there's no save_data file, CH should just list the .lhs files in /PlatformerBuilder/UserData/(profilecode/whatever you want)/ (though not yet in subdirectories).

A file prompt isn't directly supported by LÖVE and would be a lot of work, but letting files be able to get dropped on the CH window to open them should be possible. It also might be possible to make CH able to be used to open LHS files directly from the file explorer, but that would probably open a new CH window for every file.
