FMod - Better Find

One of the very few bad things about Abiathar was its "find" tool, the Tile Instance Locator. Before today, it would move the view window while searching to indicate where it found the tiles, which (in addition to being incredibly disorienting and inconvenient) did not work at all when bounded scrolling was enabled in the config file. So, I took a moment today to make it considerably less awful. It now works similarly to other editors' tile search mode, highlighting every instance of the selected combination of tiles. I wired it up to the plane state change event so it automatically recalculates the counts and rerenders the highlights when necessary.

I also adjusted the plane state menu items to make the consistent with the mode labels and added a nice "Help" menu with some links to various places where it might be possible to get help with Abiathar.
