Title: Update BOSS references for LOOT

Most of it is simply replacing "BOSS" with "LOOT" or BOSS URLs with LOOT ones, there are a couple of more prose-ish changes as well:

```diff
-

Unlike previous versions of BOSS, BOSS v3 caches the results of condition evaluations, so performance is not really an issue. A regular expression check will still take longer than a file check though, so use the former only when appropriate to do so.

Version 3 is incompatible with earlier versions, which should be removed. Any existing user rules must be manually recreated in BOSS's user interface. Some plugins sorted correctly in v2 may be sorted incorrectly by v3 until their metadata has been recorded. Please notify the team if you observe any load order issues.

```
(Note how I added a parenthetical comment at the end of this one. I wasn't sure about the wording, but it can always be changed later if deemed necessary - and removed altogether once all the threads are LOOTified.)

Only the history of version 3 is given, as changes prior to version 3 are irrelevant due to the complete redesign that occurred. The masterlists are updated far too frequently for their changes to be concisely recorded here, but a full history of changes to them may be viewed by browsing the GitHub repositories.

This change also implies some changes in the LOOT program code, namely using `%LOCALAPPDATA%/LOOT` instead of `/BOSS` and translation files now being `loot.{p,m}o`.

Also note that the "Downloads" on the front page still references and links to BOSS v3. This should be removed once there's a version released of LOOT proper.
