Added new really big location outside standard game map

Completely separate gameplay based on the famous game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." with its own look and feel

This area is located in the left side of the map (water). Connected to the island and there are 3 entrance points from the main part of the map

- The player gets radiation poisoning every second of being in this area during radiation burst

* Different levels of radiation in different parts of this map

* The burst (release) of radiation starts every 2 hours and lasts 1 hour (during this time the level of radiation gradually decreases)

* A warning siren sounds just before the release of radiation and the weather changes after the release

* Buildings can protect against radiation (except for some powerful radiation sources like hurricane)

* The water is always radioactive, radiation level depends on how deep the player is in

* The player receives 2 times more radiation on a boat or high in the air above the location

* Geiger counter (sound) notifies about radiation exposure or closeness to radiation sources (higher frequency - more dangerous)

** You can turn off this sound by typing /geiger

- Radiation exposure limits the maximum amount of blood

* For example, if radiation exposure is 50% then maximum blood level will be 6000 (the standard is 12000)

* The level of exposure is displayed in the debug monitor (F5) as well as inside the blood icon (it visually shows the maximum level of blood)

* Player's current blood level gradually decreases to a new maximum during gameplay (if radiation exposure is > 0%)

* To restore the maximum level of blood (to be fully healed) you have to use new types of loot (RAD Away, Medic Kit RAD, etc.). It's described in [Loot] category. New loot spawns on this location

* A radioactive player poisons other players nearby (limited to this new area so it shouldn't hurt regular gameplay)

* The weather changes smoothly and quickly when you enter the area

* Added atmospheric sounds for different objects on the location

* It's recommended to enable clouds in User Panel (F2) for maximum immersion

- Various anomalies are scattered everywhere. If you interact with it then the gravity might change for a second or it can blind you, break your leg, set you on fire

* Visually represented as various game effects

* Each anomaly is a separate source of radiation (the closer to the anomaly, the more radiation player receives)

* 6 dangerous radioactive hurricanes are raging in this area (visually visible + marked on the map)

* The number and positions of anomalies changes during radiation burst (at the start new anomalies are created on new positions and in the process the amount decreases to 30%)

- You can find new dangerous zombies in this area (listed in [Zombies] category)

- "STALKER Key" may appear in the corpses of killed zombies or bots in this location. These keys are required to open new loot boxes. Total number of keys found is displayed in "Hints" panel (F9). These keys can't be shared / stored in tents

* Visual effect will be created on top of dead body if key dropped
