Change DSS / ref. image file-naming conventions! (Breaks some files)
When naming DSS (or other reference) images in the Observation Planner, the following things have changed: 1. Quotes are removed from the object name. For example, the reference image for Hoag's Object will have the file name Image_HoagsObject.png -- this prevents failure on Windows and cleaner paths on Linux. 2. Naming convention for star images has changed to follow the standard RA/Dec format more closely. So instead of Image_HHMMSSDDMMSS-, we have Image_JHHMMSS-DDMMSS.png 3. The downloaded image files now have extension .png. Whenever KStars loads an older file without the extension, it will rename it so it has the extension. This will make the files more usable on Windows outside of KStars. This breaks some things: 1. If the user had already downloaded images for stars, they are no longer going to be available in KStars and must be re-downloaded! 2. If the user had already downloaded images for Hoag's Object, Mayall's Object, Minkowski's Object, ... they are no longer going to be available in KStars and must be re-downloaded!
