Allow stripping XMB in release archives

Description

AFAICS XMB's goal is to replace XML everywhere in the game to offer a more efficient access version of the data.

This is analoguous to the PMP and PSA formats. When making an archive the DAE files are not copied to the archive. This represents a very significan space gain. In hyrule, the mod size went from 6GB to 2.5GB.

Now with XMB we don't expect that kind of improvements. However for template only mods, you could still save 30% of the size.

Adding the option to strip XMLs should be easy.

The problem lies in the fact that the game still seems to rely on the xml presence for some cases that needs to be fixed. If you take ​https://github.com/0ADMods/ponies-ascendant/releases/tag/v0.26.1

Then strip the mod of all its xml files, you will no longer be able to build anything, as the building panel will be empty.
