New UI:
* The game UI has been completely rebuilt from the ground up on Unity's new native UI system.
* All UI components and graphics have been improved or reworked to look and feel as they did before.
* Removed expensive render-texture driven rendering scheme from before, expect performance increases everywhere.

IVA:
* Added Interior Overlay View mode, draws the interior spaces of a vessel on top of the normal external view.
