Version 4.20 New money system

Hello,

the 4.20 Insim update brings some big changes to the money system.
We now have cash and a separate bank account. This change was necessary
to allow more functionality. Until now, there was just one number in everyone's
profile storing the money. But that means that this value can only be accessed
by one application in a safe way. That was the Insim app. Everything had to go
through the Insim.

The new mechanism splits the whole money into the cash, that's what Insim is allowed
to use, and the big rest in the bank account, that every other application can access.

We now have the option to book licence tests via TC World directly, and buy cars
via TC world directly. The next updates will also be about professional car trading.
You can see, a car trader cannot be online all time to make money. That has to work
separately from any Insim app.

The exchange between in-game money and "out-game" money is the bank. The bank is
accessible via the Home-Menu. There you can transfer big amounts of money, deposit
and withdraw cash. In future we will be able to transfer money via TC World directly.

The in-game cash is stored in a virtual wallet. The wallet size has been set to 5,000€.
But don't worry, you can overfill it. But if it's too full, you wont make any money
by driving anymore. You get a notice. We certainly find other new ideas for the wallet,
like pick-pocketing.

All the little things like !donations, !send, and compensations are done directly
from one wallet to another. Fines, purchases, car services and similar things go directly to your bank account.
