Summary: Move point buy definitions to Custom data

Initial Comment:
The point buy definitions used when in purchase mode for stats are the only files written to the system folder by PCGen. This means that the various game mode folders need to be writable to users using PCGen, which is not expected and may not be possible in a Least-Privileged User Accounts (LUA) security environment.

The point buy definitions should instead be written out to the custom sources directory by game mode along with other game mode specific custom data. This location can be user controlled and set to a non-sensitive location.

Implemented a graceful transition to using the custom data folder for this
file. File is now always written out to the appropriate folder in custom
data, and is read from there if present. The file under system will be used
for a game mode if the custom data one is not present.
