I've added the ability to "fix" the SpaceDock Overflow bug.

Given that the Armor total is stored in the Design Change Block, I'd hoped I could fix it by overwriting the Armor value with a recalculated value (also taking into account the potential for Croby and Langston). But when I replace the armor value in the .x file, the .HST recalculates it. Even closing and reopening the front end recalculates it.

So instead if you try to put 22+ Superlatanium on a spacedock when you have RS, I reset the number back to 21 and recalculate the armor value.

That puts me at a fix for the Colonization component bug, and a fix for Overflow. I can detect the "1st player with 10 starbases" and warn, but I don't see a good actual fix besides, "don't do that".

Stealth pop and the Minefield bugs both are reportedly fixed in JRC4, so no need to fix for those! (tho I wish I'd figured that out at least slightly earlier, but at least I made progress mapping the waypoint code).

Assuming there's enough data on the production queue block, I'll probably try to fix the AR starter colony bug next. hopefully just a matter of clearing the hidden order from the queue. that's hopefully easier than the next feature I want to try to "create", the ability to block gating to friends, and make it a game setting. (hmm, although if it's a game setting I could just make it a game rule and be done with it.)
