[D+D2] Original skies for Master Levels

[NightFright]

The new "Doom + Doom 2" port includes a new version of the episodic Master Levels (masterlevels.wad) with rearranged map order. Unfortunately, it was decided to alter skies for all maps which utilized original D2 graphics before (probably for consistency reasons). This means now all maps use one of the three star skies which came with the original Master Levels. Not everybody may like that, especially since it kinda changes the atmosphere to some degree.

Here's a patch which does the following:
- Restores old skies
- Adds author names to level name lumps (CWILVxx)
- Properly centers M_DOOM (added Aug 21, 2024)

(UPDATED OCT 5, 2024 for latest Nightdive port version)

Load the fix after masterlevels.wad from the Nightdive port and enjoy.

Small update:
Added alignment fix for M_DOOM after feedback from the Woof! dev section on Github.

Update:
Even though masterlevels.wad was changed in the lastest port update, neither the skies nor the M_DOOM patch were touched. Therefore, this patch still has reasons to exist.

The update actually changed the sky for Black Tower; but only that one.

I have just realized an update of this mod is required after all. The way skies are handled in masterlevels.wad has changed in Update #1 since graphics have been renamed. It's no longer required to have copies of the original D2 skies, which makes things easier.

Please download the new version in the OP.
