Use Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars() instead of Path.GetInvalidPathChars() when escaping the seed string for subdirectory names. GetInvalidPathChars only returns control characters, missing characters like : < > " * ? | which are invalid in file/folder names on Windows. This fixes maps with seeds like "MountainPeople:3<3!!!!. failing to create output directories.
Apply Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars() escaping directly in CreateImageNameDateTime() and CreateImageNameNumbered() for the seed string and map name. This ensures special characters are stripped at the source, making the escaping explicit and consistent with the subdirectory escaping.
