New set of maps!

A massive set of updates to the maps that I use.  A bit of something for any EverQuest player, from Original EQ all the way through the new expansion.

Link to maps: https://www.eqmaps.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/brewall.zip

Overall changes:
* I moved credits/collection/raid/hunter legend info into layer 2 maps. I have a program that I wrote where I can re-generate this information. Lot’s of great info can be found in the legend, and best of all, I can add more without having to dig around editing the raw map files.  A great example of this would be for Sanctus Seru, one of the legend items says: Praesertum Bikun (1/4 Arx Key)- Timer: 3 days +/- 12 hours
* I renamed hundreds of zone connections.  Instead of “Neriak” it would say the actual zone name, such as “Neriak Foreign Quarter”. Another good example would be “Solusek B” will say “Nagafen’s Lair”.
* I reconciled all raid/hunter from original EQ through LDoN and made sure the mobs are listed in the map files and in the legend.  I am almost done with these achievements, and as I have done them, I’ve high-sunned mobs, and clarified their positions.  I am missing a few hunter locations, but I have a record of exactly which ones they are and plan on adding them.
