Realistic Sun Disk Size

Reduces the area of the sun disk geometry texture by 80%. This gives suns viewed from planets a more realistic apparent size.
You know how earth, the moon, and our sun are unique in the universe in that the sun is the perfect size and perfect distance away to appear the same size as the moon? How when we have total solar eclipses, that "diamond ring" effect exists, as far as we know, only in our quaint little corner of the universe?
This creation reduces the size of the sun disk geometry, added in game version 1.9.51.0, to 20% its vanilla size. I always thought suns looked wayyy too big when viewed from planetary surfaces, so this creation fixes that.
I chose to downsize the area of the disk to 20% its original size simply because that's how small it would have to be for Sol to be the same size as Luna when viewed from Earth.
Not compatible with any other mod that edits Data\Textures\Sky\sundisk_color.dds.
