Summary0016220: Autosave feature
Description
Having autosave would be very helpful for tracking down bugs in the alpha. Currently it's "uh oh something bad happened, save and show the after effects, then try to remember exactly what I did and write it down, including lots of irrelevant info and maybe not the actual cause."

If I can easily load up a save from 1, 5, 10 or 20 turns ago, play the same way and see if it still happens, it is much easier to help with the leg work of figuring out what actually triggers a problem.

For next version:

* Added new slider to the settings menu game tab: Autosave Interval
** If this is zero, the game will not autosave. Otherwise, it will autosave every N turns, where N is the value specified.
** Defaults to 0.

* Added new slider to the settings menu game tab: Autosaves To Keep
** If this is zero, the game will never automatically overwrite autosaves. Otherwise, it will only create N autosaves (where N is the value specified) before it starts looping back around, overwriting the oldest autosave.
** Defaults to 1.

* Added new toggle to the settings menu game tab: Compress Autosaves
** If this is checked, the game will use normal compression on autosaves. This saves disk space but takes somewhat longer than an uncompressed save.
** Defaults to off.

Thanks :)
