Proposal for some .cfg based fixes about kspcommunityfixes HOT 5 CLOSED

Forgot to add one more:

Stock contracts fixes: A few parts test contracts are missing for the small rover wheel, smaller SRBs and MonoProp engine. In the linked file I also added some extra situations for a few contracts that seemed suitable along with surveys for the Magnetometer, Mystery Goo and Materials Bay.

On the surface, I'm not against config patches as long as they are purely cosmetic or are fixing a really problematic issue.

The stock agencies and missing part manufacturers feel fine to include. Bulkhead profiles are only used for editor part categories, so fine for me, but I concur that using non-existent stock categories (mk0 / mk1 ?) should be be avoided.

The contract patches are leaning a bit too much on the "new features" side to my taste.
This is a Pandora's box that I would prefer to stay closed. There are thousands of ways to make stock configs "better" and as many different opinions as to what changes are actually "better". And I have done enough KSP modding to know that maintaining stock-altering configs is a nightmare when you take the whole modding ecosystem into account.

Another note : please don't use wildcards and use discrete part names everywhere. You never know which random modded part you will accidentally target.

A PR is welcome if you agree to all of this :)

Ok, I'll put that together shortly

Did you have any preference for the directory structure? I can't see any other similar types of fixes so I guess a new folder labelled "Configs" with all this stuff inside, maybe with another subdirectory for the logos

There is currently a Patches directory for mod support patches. I would suggest renaming it ModSupportPatches, and creating a StockConfigsPatches next to it, with an Icons subfolder for the *.png files
