On giant maps, the giant screenshot is often really huge and takes ages, but the normal screenshot does not cover a large area, so often one can't show everything that is wanted, or make a zoomed-out screenshot missing a lot of details (and looking fairly ugly due to lack of antialiasing in 8bpp)

This "Panorama Screenshot" patch provides a screenshot method inbetween those, by making a "giant screenshot", but not of the whole map, only of the visible area in the screen. so you can zoom out to make the visible area bigger, but have full zoomed-in detail in the resulting screenshot.

What i did:

1. I copied the function to create a giant screenshot, and changed the viewport boundaries to the "virtual" boundaries of the main viewport.
2. I added a menu entry in the main toolbar dropdown, below the giant screenshot, and a hotkey (Ctrl+P).
3. I changed the screenshot console command, changed the "screenshot big" command to do a panorama screenshot, and added "screenshot giant" to make an old-style giant screenshot.

I have quickly tested the results of the screenshot commands, and have not received any bug reports in the three days since release.
Patch is against r20202.
