#17322: Ultima VIII: detection for Italian fan translation (beta)

 Hi, I’m working on an Italian fan translation of Ultima VIII: Pagan. The
 translation modifies EUSECODE.FLX, so ScummVM no longer detects the game
 (unknown md5 and size).

 I plan to release a public beta so that players can take part in
 proofreading the texts and reporting errors. Since the translation will be
 updated frequently during this review phase, the file changes with every
 release, so adding a fixed md5 to the detection table isn’t practical.

 Would it be possible to add a fallback detection for Ultima VIII that
 matches on file names only (e.g. EUSECODE.FLX present in the game folder),
 without checking md5/size? That would let beta testers run the translated
 version without a new ScummVM build for each update. Once the translation
 is final, I’d be happy to provide the final md5 so a proper entry can be
 added.
