Compatibility Patch: Real Space 4.0 for Ethics and Civics Classic

Where's Epsilon Eridani?

Real Space uses its own unique system initializers at galaxy creation to ensure that visuals match everywhere in the galaxy. But EaC uses its own initializers as well to make sure that NPC empires spawn with correct governments, and that unique events fire correctly.

What this means is that these two mods conflict, and one will break the other. Typically, EaC overwrites Real Space, leading to systems with garishly oversized planets and no unique neighbor systems.

This patch solves that, carefully snipping out the mechanically necessary init_effects for EaC, and inserting them into Real Space's artistic system initializers.
