The way we're staging new-format scenarios in the repository is in conflict with the format the game needs scenarios to be in to launch them.

Possible fixes (each with drawbacks) include:

What I tried to do in #601 (add the .boes file so the unpacked folder and packed file are both staged in the repository)
- + Easy change to make
- - The unpacked folder appears as a non-functional duplicate entry in the scenario picker.
- - Not DRY: The test scenario will need to be re-packed/re-unpacked anytime it changes. It should only exist in the repo in one form.
Make the game able to run an unpacked scenario
- + this will help fix a pesky limitation of the scenario editor's launch feature: 3bd8874147/src/scenedit/scen.main.cpp (L106)
- - This might be somewhat hard
Pack and copy replay test scenarios into debug builds
- - I don't want to have to do this for Visual Studio and Xcode builds.
- - The code will need to change to search for scenarios in the build folder that are not VoDT, ASR, or ZKR

I'm actually gonna remove the game tag from this because it won't affect players at all.

Adding scenedit tag since it can affect the launch feature.

I should now be able to fix this in my beta branch, because I made unpacked scenarios launchable
