Beginning, building, and testing a new level

In versions prior to June 2011 the user was confronted with a blank scene on loading the editor. This is still possible, if one likes that, but there is now also a set of templates to get started quickly. The templates each emulate a certain time of the day (Night, Day, Morning, Afternoon). These are not extensive maps, just a staging point to help move around the space easily and to help make visual prototyping faster. They come with already established lighting (Dominant Directional Light), a sky dome StaticMesh, a LightmassImportanceVolume, and a KillZ height, all of which the user would have to fuss with previously.
