Summary0002068: On Linux game don't detect new files added to Maps directory till restart
DescriptionAs far as I get this is Linux-only problem as on Windows VCMI detect newly added files just fine.
Steps To Reproduce  - Run VCMI and go to "New Game" -> "Single Scenario"
  - Now go back to menu.
  - Add few files to "~/.local/share/vcmi/Maps" (or where it's located for you)
  - Try to open "Single Scenario" again.

Vadim I assigned you on this one, but it's up to you if you want to work on it or no. Probably this one might be super easy for someone who worked with Boost.Filesystem before.

Personally I simply not sure if there is cross-platform way to track filesystem changes so virtual FS can be updated if changed.

And if there no simple way to do that we probably can simply rescan directories (like maps and saves) each time appropriate screen accessed.
