Update improving empire customization and stability.

• Create Game -> Allow empire presets a chance to spawn in (if enabled by player).
  

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Fix: Create Game -> Map size setting not initially synced with actual value (i.e. appeared as 'duel' when map size was actually 'small').
  
• Fix: Create Game -> Clicking 'Main' to exit origin selection and 'Play' randomizes the empire being customized, resulting in lost customization.
  
• Fix: Fleet panel -> Esc key cancels fleet orders, when it used to close panel.
  
• Fix: Create Game -> After starting game, galaxy visual sometimes does not match customized visual type.

[h2]Removed[/h2]

• Remove: Create Game -> Map -> Cached/saved values -> Conflicts with network synced value leading to unexpected map generations.
