FMod - Intuitive Flood Fill

A community member expressed confusion about Abiathar's Flood Filler tool, specifically the difference between bounding planes and filled planes. I can see how adjusting the bound planes might not be an obvious thing to do. So, I added a new configuration option - SimpleFloodFill - that causes the Flood Filler to always use the active planes for bound and fill. The option is adjustable in the old Flood Fill Properties (now called Flood Fill Policy) dialog as well. The tool status text for the Flood Filler in simple mode now tells the user that pressing Space opens a dialog with more options.

I also fixed several little issues that caused the "current level" check mark to not appear in the Level menu after certain level management operations were performed. They were all caused by calls to UpdateLevelList (which purges and refills the Level menu) after UpdateLevelLabel (which updates the current level status label and adjusts the check mark). Switching the order of those calls resolved the issue.
