Real-Time Auto Save

Description
Description
Allows you to configure auto-saves to happen on a real-time interval rather than an in-game time interval (default is 10 minutes). That way if you're working on some complex planning while the game is paused, it will still be saved every so often in case you get a BSOD or something (Windows 10 amiright?)

Compatibility
Use at your own risk!! I am not responsible if your auto-saves aren't working and your game crashes and you lose hours of progress.

i'm having a funny issue where the mod is trying to autosave immediately on loading a colony, perhaps it's counting the startup/main menu time as "game time", and autosaving immediately. it seems like because the game is still starting from the save it ends up soft-locking, the game freezes on the "loading assets" screen while the log is full of the autosaver complaining. would it be possible to have a configurable delay after loading a save for the timer to start, or something like that?

@lloki @Hades the King I think I fixed it. It was just the debug log messages causing errors because they were being written from another thread. I have removed them.

I had it happen while i was choosing my map. it might have something to do when other mods have red errors.

@Hades the King Do you have the log file still? The red errors might be useful!

I was getting the same white messages as lloki and i also got red errors after each pattern message. When i tried replicating it just stopped happening. I have no idea how to get it to happen again

Ok, but in my case it also tries to do it in the main menu. And I don't think it's saving while I'm in the ideology or any other menu ingame either. I mean something feels off now, I don't remember it was the case in 1.5. Of course it can be my fault as well, I'm playing will a lot of mods, maybe they are breaking something. I will do some more tests.
