Summary0002228: Spring.exe should give more & better error messages

Spring 0.82.6.1 (0.82.6.1) has crashed.
Exception: Access violation (0xc0000lol00)
Exception Address: 0xyommoma
DLL information:
blabla
TagsNo tags attached.

2178 seems to be about "missing s3o textures" only.
but there are other things that crash spring.exe without good error message too.

we can just add better error handling for specific stuff, not for "everything", speaking of practice.

it would be good if you could post a sample mod for testing, though, if it is really just textures, then yeah, that should be fixed in master already.

if a mod/map does not show up in map/mod list it would maybe be good to have message on this.
reasons why this could happen:
-sd7 with wrong folder structure
-error in modinfo.lua
-file with same name already exists in different datadir ie spring\maps and all user\...\documents\maps

use infolog.txt or ArchiveCache.lua to find those errors.

if you run again into such a problem (no/bad error message) please open a new bug report.
