My previous custom level forwards compatibility would only work if you saved to the same filename as you read from. But what if you saved to a new filename? Well, your extra XML is lost. Not to worry, I've introduced a variable that remembers the filepath of the currently-loaded level (the existing `filename` attribute is kind of weird and not really suited for this purpose, so). I tried to make it a simple `const char*`, but it turns out that's bad when you take the `c_str()` of an `std::string` that then gets destroyed, so it's best to use `std::string` in an `std::string` world. So now when you save a level, it'll attempt to open the original file, and if that doesn't exist then your extra XML gets lost anyway, but I shouldn't be expected to keep your XML if you delete the original file.
