v1.21

A few changes in support of weekly races.

- "Flags" has been changed from a hexadecimal representation of all your settings to a string of all named toggles that differ from defaults, in order to make them more readable and compatible with later versions.  For example, Menblock's insanity% has flags: 

aggBosses=yes confusionFix=no moreItems=no ohko=yes opManaBeastScale=vanilla opGPEleRando=no mode=open opDifficulty=hard opGoal=vlong opEnemies=oops opLogic=restrictive

and this will be compatible with future versions unless a default setting changes, in which case the flags string can easily be amended by hand anyway.

- Open world spoilers have been split into a separate _SPOILER log file.

- The non-spoiler log file has been reorganized a bit to have seed + flags right at the top along with some other info.

- It should now be easier to find a spot to land in Ice Country in open world mode.

- Changing cosmetic settings that are randomized should no longer affect randomization of functional elements.  You can now change the following settings for a given seed and should still get the same open world locations/elements/enemies/etc as before:

        - Character palettes

        - Music rando

        - Map colors
