Summary 0000041: Fix the file lookup mechanism
Description Homeworld has multiple lookup paths to find files on the local filesystem and with .big files. However, which gets used is determined by the code asking for the file, so overriding files easily is actually fairly complicated and not guaranteed to work everywhere.

There should be one central lookup order implemented in File.c to find/deal with requested files. FF_ flags used to specify file paths should be deprecated.
