Characters: Laden in the Esc menu, timed autosave

- Esc menu: "Exportieren" became "Laden"; it opens the load window, always
  in load mode. In a game every world loads (the current one reloads); a
  "(neu)" world stops the game (cCommand_armaStop) and starts the new one
  without the main menu. The character being played cannot be deleted.
- Silent autosave every sacredK.ini [characters] AutosaveMinutes (default
  10, 0 = off) into the character's autosave file.
