[2.1 port] Seraphic Skylands Zone v3.1

Mainly developed from 2010 to 2014, winning the first 2.1 OLDC, Seraphic Skylands is the first single player map I've ever released. While a complete remake of this map is in progress, that's currently on the backburner due to my focus on vanilla SRB2 development, so I've decided to make a simple port in the meantime.

However, considering the differences between 2.1 and 2.2, this still required a couple of tweaks to the map:

• Some areas saw minor changes to allow or intentionally block Amy and Fang, allowing them to beat the level and preventing them from getting softlocked. However, quite a few areas in this map are designed around spindashing, so it is recommended to play as characters that can do so.
• Most spikes in the map had invisible FOFs with spike damage, which have been mostly removed. This means Amy and Metal Sonic can properly interact with them. However, certain spikes are intended to be unbreakable, which now have unique sprites.
• Various other map elements, like fan particle generators and floor/ceiling alignment, changed behavior completely in 2.2 and needed to be fixed.

Aside from that and some minor bugfixes, the level has been kept intact as much as possible. While it may feel quite outdated now, almost 10 years(!) after its initial release and without slopes, I hope people can still appreciate this map, even if only as a glimpse into SRB2's history.
