Level Selector Leftovers

While it is unknown if there still a functional code, a file named "ui_bootmenu.xml" (found in all releases of the game) defines the filenames and atributes for a level selector still left in the files. This is known as some Silent Hill: Origins prototypes that contains accesible debug menu shown this function in action by opening an option named just like the file.

The file contains a "Test Levels" section, however this levels can not find in any release.
