Adds executed criminals at the gallows outside cities and at crossroads

Welcome to the twenty first installment of my Oblivion Immersion Series. It's that time of year again. Halloween is almost upon us. And what better way to celebrate than to return to an old staple of mine: adding dead people to Cyrodiil. The Empire has it's seedy underbelly filled with all sorts of criminal scum, many of whom would be condemned to the gallows. So here they are: executed criminals as proof that the guards do more than just harass the player each time they accidentally swipe a grape.
The corpses can be found outside of each major city and along major crossroads, as a deterrent to all who might otherwise think that crime does pay.
Version 1.1 adds some requested expansions. First, some of the fresh cadavers have been switched out for those that are in advanced decomposition or have skeletonized, to reflect that some have been hanging there for quite a while. Also, all corpses are now lootable containers with a variety of grisly body-derived alchemy ingredients: bone meal, blood, and a few new ingredients including human fat and moss of the skull. These ingredients are distributed to match what you'd logically expect (i.e. skeletons won't provide blood, fat, or organs, but will provide moss of the skull, which is a lichen that takes a while to grow). These new ingredients were inspired by the real-world pre-industrial practice of corpse medicine that was popular in Europe during the Renaissance, which you can read about in the following links (WARNING: very gross and potentially disturbing):

Happy Halloween!
