This allows switching to the gamesetup, with a harcoded map, from the
campaign screen. Lets player sets up a few things (e.g. their civ &
favorite AI), which can be convenient for some simple campaigns that
lack options.

Since it is very non-trivial to determine which mods change checksums
and which don't, this relies on modder goodwill (and on verification on
our end for signed mods).
The declaration is an optional "ignoreInCompatibilityChecks" boolean in
mod.json
Also rework slightly the MP lobby mod display to always show the host
mods in a clear manner.

The champions these structures built were not very usable in practice
because of their limited build rate.
Apadanas are a special case since they grant resources, their limit is
increased to 2 and their resource rate divided by two (this reduces
their economic impact early on, but increases their potential military
impact).
The preferred solution would be giving apadanas a pop count, but that
does not work very well right now given that they grant resources and
can still be built.

The introduction of "turn time" in A24 has been pointed out as a
gameplay change that made rushing less viable, and made the game more
turtley overall. Combined with other changes in the same direction, this
was seen by several top MP players as a step back.
Increasing turn times to 14 for infantry makes them somewhat irrelevant,
and a value of 10 for cavalry makes them noticeably more reactive while
keeping a little speed debuff.
Champions have a lower value, and heroes keep their lower values still
to prevent a reintroduction of 'dancing'.

The significant slowdown in train times, particularly for infantry
resulted in an increase in the # of barracks and overall contributed to
shifting towards a defensive, turtley gameplay.

Because the page stack is a vector, if during PushPage, a new page is
pushed, the vector may re-allocate. This 'pulls the rug out' from
underneath the code stack that originally pushed, which then crashes.
To fix this, use a deque, since push/pop won't invalidate references.
