Currently, users don't have a clear way to install skins. Many will likely use "Open current skin folder..." option and place their downloaded skin in there among the factory stuff, only for those to be nuked during next update via installer.

I don't think adding individual skin bundle names to the installer scripts is a good way to go, so we should make it easier for users to install skins where they are supposed to be (in the user data folder).

Two ways we could do that (either of them or both at once):

  1. Add "Install skin..." option to Menu>Skins
  2. Drag and drop of .surge-skin anywhere on Surge GUI copies it to user data folder and chooses it as current skin automatically

Drop a Skin to install it

Drag and Drop in a skin and you are

1. Prompted if you want to install it
2. If you say yes it copies to your user directory
3. And activate it

Closes surge-synthesizer#3757
