Introduced administrative settings.

They are defined in `TUM.administrativeSettings`.
They have a default value in `TUM.administrativeSettingsDefaultValues`.
They can be overloaded either:
-  by script (with a call like `TUM.administrativeSettings.setValue(TUM.administrativeSettings.USE_SPECIFIC_RADIOMENU, true)`
- by a parameter named after the setting in a trigger zone called `TUM_Administrative_Settings`

Settings that are already implemented:
- USE_SPECIFIC_RADIOMENU: use a specific radio menu for the mission commands, or use the main one?
- INITIALIZE_AUTOMATICALLY: automatically initialize the mission when the script is loaded. If false, you must call TUM.initialize() manually.
- IGNORE_ZONES_STARTINGWITH: if set, ignore all zones starting with this string. This is useful to avoid conflicts with other scripts that use the same zone names.
- ONLY_ZONES_STARTINGWITH: if set, only adds zones starting with this string. This is useful to avoid conflicts with other scripts that use the same zone names.
