Population and Energy Overlays

- More updates to the Energy Overlay (which is now visible inside as well!)
Call me, beep me if you want to reach me (Tutorial Updates)

Fixes as of 0.8.3
- Fixed massive metadata files from ancient saves – the game now ignores metadata and rewrites on load, to avoid crashes when starting a new game if the player had really old saves
- This is important! Older, potentially corrupted, save files from April and earlier will no longer load. It is highly encouraged to delete any old saves from launch you might have around.

- Fixed some text clipping issues
- Fixed the loading screen getting the wrong data, causing issues sometimes when loading
