Addition of SOB_Dash3 skin

Upgraded my rig to use a 42" television at 1080p instead of my fancy gaming monitor that is a 27" 1440p, so I thought I'd make a new dash that really only bothers with the things I care about: speed, gear, and shift indicator.

Version 3.0 includes new SOB_Dash4!

After a number of weeks using SOB_Dash3, I realized a couple of things:

1. I was looking down at all those dots only on one side, right before I was supposed to shift, rather than using peripheral vision.

Ooops. SOB_Dash5 fixed.

Somehow I had an older background.png in SOB_Dash5, so it didn't line up with the revzone graphics. All fixed now.

Hmm... anyone know why I can only upload 1 MB of graphics for the overview page? I've deleted now deprecated images on there... I assumed there was a limit for everything, but do I never get it back if the images need to change?

Some cars have 8 gears, it turns out...

Added 8th gear to SOB_Dash4 and 5. Now it won't show a blank when racing in the Ferrari SF70H!
