…, but not drawing if no popups are registered. Adds error catching for save file corruption (malformed json) that renames the file in question to prevent future loading issues and uses `SohModalWindow` to inform the user of the error.

The aim of this PR is simple: prevent crashes from loading corrupted save files, gracefully prevent future load issues, and notify the user that something was wrong. This is accomplished by adding a new window,
SohModalWindow, which is used to draw modal popups on demand with just a few inputs from code, but has options for customizing title, body, and button texts, adding a second button, and registering callbacks for each button. With certain flags, it's always centered in the window, isn't moveable, resizes itself, and has no scrollbars. This system is usable anywhere SohGui can be referenced (didn't know a better place to put the function to register a modal).In the case of save loading errors, it catches, renames the file to
filex.bak, and then registers the popup.Two problems I can think this might have: first, as of now, it's only setup to handle static functions and I have no idea how to make it handle class-instance functions, or if that's even necessary.
Second is that, as it stands, it's only useable in C++, and I have no idea how to make the function callbacks useable in C. Theoretically, it could still be used just to print a message to the player with a C bridge function in OTRGlobals, but I don't know if that's necessary or a good idea either.
