Previously

Currently building IPaks is pretty annoying and building IWDs is not implemented yet.
Previously OBJ containers had to be built as seperate targets.
If they were supposed to include obj data for assets from the built zone they had to include an assetlist which have not been generated automatically and have a fully defined zone file.

// zone_raw/mod/mod.zone
build,mod_ff
build,mod_ipak
// zone_raw/mod/mod_ff.zone
>game,T6
>name,mod
>type,fastfile
>level.ipak_read,mod
include,content
// zone_raw/mod/mod_ipak.zone
>game,T6
>name,mod
>type,ipak
include,content
// zone_raw/mod/content.zone
image,image1
image,image2
xmodel,xmodel1
// ...

Now

This PR tries to unify the building process of fastfile and additional obj containers into a single target.
This aims to improve building of IPaks, IWDs and in the future soundbanks.

// zone_raw/mod/mod.zone
>game,T6
>name,mod
>ipak,mymoddedipakname
>iwd,mymoddediwdname

image,image1
image,image2
xmodel,xmodel1

This is supposed to result in a built mod.ff, mymoddedipakname.ipak and mymoddediwdname.iwd.
The IPak and IWD contain all supported obj data of the assets that follow.

You can switch to another IWD or IPak by redefining >ipak,newipak or >iwd,newiwd respectively.
This will cause all following obj data to go into a new obj container.
This way you can split data.

Specifying the respective metadata key with an empty value >ipak, or >iwd, then you can stop writing data to this obj container.

Closes: #27
