birdybro fe864e31bc Add readme, reorganize folder structure, add retro round dot shadow mask and NECT slot mask (#2)
* Add a readme so people know how the shadowmasks work.
* Reorganize folder structure to be similar to other repos in the project like this.
* Add retro (60's/70's) style CRT shadow mask which used a delta gun and round holes in the mask.
* Add a variant of the dot mask above that is brighter which uses MYC colors for people with much darker LCD tv's with CE backlight dimming.
* Add @wickerwaka's NECT slot mask he made awhile ago which resembles a popular style of shadow mask.

4,4,2,2,1,1
2,1,1,4,4,2
