To help debug geoscape game issues, a persistent log was added.
Persistent = in the save file.

By default, it can hold 1000 entries.
Players and modders can change it to smaller or bigger using `oxceGeoscapeDebugLogMaxEntries: 1000` in options.cfg

The log contains the following events:
1. geoscape event popups
2. ufo spawns
3. alien base spawns
4. mission site spawns
5. alien base upgrades
6. monthly mission generation
7. monthly geoscape event generation
8. irregular geoscape event generation

If I'm understanding what I'm looking at this log is keepipg track of which UFO spawned, the date it happened, which alien race was onboard and more.

This will be very helpful, thank you for adding it.
