Animated Steam Avatars Load Again, and a Low-Memory Startup Warning Arrives

A regression that broke animated Steam avatar loading has been fixed. The game now shows a startup warning when launched with low available memory or a limited pagefile, since that can cause instability or crashes. The update also fixes mixed-resolution rendering resetting on map changes, several biplanar mapping and Workshop Tools lighting-compile bugs, and inconsistent checkbox behavior when moving items into or out of Storage Units.
