Remove Atlas integration from main menu

[jan]

To launch Atlas from within the game, we need to include atlas-specific code within the game and in particular ps/GameSetup/ . This is undesirable in terms of code organisation (see subsequent ticket). After short discussion, Philip, SimonG, and Jan concluded that the main menu 'Atlas' button should be removed:

• no one currently uses it;
• the original idea of implementing Atlas in terms of the in-game GUI has long since been changed, Atlas will remain an external app.
• nice shortcuts to Atlas can be created in binaries/ or the Start Menu folder instead;

Any objections? This affects the UI design, main menu art and interface..

(simple implementation there: just grey-out the button until the main menu art is redesigned, which I believe was planned)

Hmm, I don't remember that discussion now, but anyway I implemented code so the Atlas button does actually work now, and I think it's good to keep it prominently visible to players and avoid hiding behind a shortcut or cluttering the Start menu.
