Barony V2.0.5 BETA

Folks,

I'd like to announce the release of beta v2.0.5.
To switch to the beta branch:
* Right click on Barony in your steam library -> Properties -> BETAS -> and select "beta" from the dropdown menu. Note that you may need to restart Steam to see the beta branch.
See below for full changelog, but for a quick rundown, this version contains controller support, various minor additions, bug fixes, and some major optimizations.

Changelog:
* Implemented controller support.
* Added /gold command.
* Added /minotaurlevel command.
* Added a resolution change confirmation.
* Added a minotaur warning icon for minotaur levels.
* Added new sprites which you can use in the editor to set chest types 0 to 8. Continue using the old chest sprite for randomly selected chest type (also means existing map files do NOT have to be changed).
* Split off character sheet's skill pages into its own window.
* Drawing and logic optimizations.
* Optimizations to frequently called functions.
* Small change to way minimap is drawn -- should help with non-optimised drivers on low-end cards.
* Massive entity optimizations: now use hash map.
* Fixed some GUI issues.
* Fixed crash when closing a chest.
* Fixed keys and mouse controlling main menu selection separately.
* Fixed bug with improper keying through pause menu.
* Fixed a multiplayer chest GUI bug.
* Code maintenance, clean-up, and some minor fixes.
* Should you choose to build the game yourself from the repository, you can opt to compile with OpenAL instead of FMOD (or neither to disable sound completely)

Note for translators: This version modifies en.txt. Translations will need to be updated.

A big thank-you to the community for the continued interest, including contributions to the Github repository.
