osu!taiko skinning

You can override the osu!taiko playfield parts by creating a folder called taiko inside your skin folder. If this approach is used, the user will need to explicitly enable this in the options (enable the Use Taiko skin for Taiko mode button), otherwise the default skin elements will be used.
