Improved Sunrises and Sunsets V1.0

Improved Sunrises and Sunsets V1.0

Improved Lighting effects achieved naturally through new transition timers.
Makes sunrise appear later and sunset appear earlier also.

Other mods out there like this, but this is a streamed replacement of time.xml that seems to be working well enough
The timescale stays vanilla but the sun and light patterns are smoother
This mod does make the actual sun rise later and set earlier, but just the sun object, and this apparently amplifies some lighting effects
This mod does not modify timecycle files, does not contain any scripts, and only replaces 1 game file

The sunrise starts at 4am and finally rises at around 7am
The sunset starts at 6pm and sets at around 7pm
The sun appears more prominent throughout the day

Lighting transitions are drawn out and some cloud effects are amplified
Night/twilight is about 10 hours, with light fading sharply at dusk and dawn
Most of the night is now moonlight only

Version 1 so still room to improve
