Galaxy versions: Make it clear what EDMC's support is for Live/Legacy

* Inara is Live only.
* We send `gameversion` to EDDN and EDSM, the code listening to the
  messages decides what to do.

## Supported Game Versions
In the game's [Odyssey Update 14 the game galaxy was split in two](https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/elite-dangerous-update-14-and-beyond-live-and-legacy-modes):
- 'Legacy' for consoles and anyone playing using the 3.8 Horizons client.
- 'Live' for anyone playing using the 4.0 client (Horizons or Odyssey).
Elite Dangerous Market Connector *does* support both, but starting with version
5.6.0 the focus will be on supporting 'Live' galaxy players. A lack of
testing against the 'Legacy' galaxy might lead to bugs only triggered by
such play. Bug reports for such are still welcome, but will have a lower
priority than anything that (also) affects 'Live'.
This application sends the `gameversion` as stated by the game client in all
EDDN messages, and also in each batch of messages to EDSM's API. The sites
the other end choose to accept or drop any such data.
In addition to this the major third-party websites and tools are mostly
choosing to only support the 'Live' galaxy. In particular:
- Those listening to the EDDN data stream will tend to only pay attention to
'Live' galaxy data. So don't be surprised if, e.g. a station's market,
does not update if you are playing 'Legacy'. Also, the data on such
third-party sites may will not match that seen in 'Legacy'.
- Inara [has chosen](https://inara.cz/elite/board-thread/7049/463292/#463292)
to only support 'Live' data on its API. Thus you can no longer track any
'Legacy' commander using it. The Inara plugin code in Elite Dangerous
Market Connector will not even attempt to track 'Legacy' data, never mind
send it to Inara.
If you are only playing in the 'Legacy' galaxy you should just disable the
'Inara' plugin's sending of data, else you'll get a warning every time an
attempt is made to send such to Inara.

galaxy is supported by Inara**. Thus, if you are playing only in the 'Legacy'

## Inara isn't updating my commander data at all
Are you playing in the 'Legacy' galaxy after game Update 14 ? If so,
[Inara has chosen to only support the 'Live' galaxy](https://inara.cz/elite/board-thread/7049/463292/#463292)
and as such this application will not even attempt to send any data if the
'Live' galaxy is not detected.
