Changes in Phaere NPC Portraits for BG2 v5.0

Version v5.0
Added phaere_ports.ini metadata file to support AL\|EN's "Project Infinity". Replaced `AUTHOR` keyword with `SUPPORT`. Added `VERSION` flag. Replaced `AT_INTERACTIVE_EXIT` deprecated command with `README`. Added missing `REQUIRE_PREDICATE` process to avoid installing the mod in inaccurate games. Added components `DESIGNATED` numbers and "phaere_ports_%npc-names%" `LABELS`. Modernized and speed up installation process: - Externalized tp2 code into gw_install_portraits.tpa library for more comfortable readability and maintenance. - Renamed portraits sub-folders and script names to fit the new installation function. - Due to its portrait size (38 x 60), "Bodhi Portrait component" can now only be installed in original games. Added native BG2:EE and EET compatibilities. Replaced old-school `DECOMPILE_BCS_TO_BAF` plus `COMPILE_BAF_TO_BCS` process with more accurate `DECOMPILE_AND_PATCH` command. Added "Continue()" to the script blocks that are patched via `EXTEND_TOP`. Fixed a bug with .2da files patching: viconnd1 and viconnd2 (was replacing "NVICONIL" portrait instead of "NVICONL"). Fixed two bugs with .bcs files patching: aerie (was applying "r#aeport" spell instead of "r#pparie"), was patching sarev25a file instead of sarev25. Resized portraits for original games to their right sizes (medium = 110 x 170 - small = 30 x 60). Cleaned up old ids entries patch replaced with more recent BG2 Fixpack one. Added French translation (Gwendolyne). Wrote a new phaere_ports-readme-english.html readme file and moved it into new "readme" folder. Removed useless backup folder. Reorganized mod architecture tree: created "lang" and "portraits" folders to sort files according to their types. Lower cased files. Included Linux and Mac Os X versions in the same package (thanks AL\|EN's Infinity Auto Packager tool!). Updated WeiDU installer to v246. Uploaded mod to official Spellhold Studios GitHub mirror account.
Version v4.0
Streamlined some tp2 code. Mac OS X now supported. Cleaned up BG2 folder. SoA-only installation now supported. The portrait changes are now retroactive. Installer is faster now. Updated WeiDU installer to v183.
