Re #9 - Make WarFoundry loading granular * Remove specific staged loading classes * Rework category loading for GameSystem and Race to make it use AddCategory(Category) method * Promote staged loading from Native Factory to all Factories level * Refactor XML Factory to use smaller methods Also removed some commented code that isn't used any more
