Fix save loading and persistent updates in lightweight about monikamoddev HOT 2 CLOSED

Okay, I've figured this out. Theres actually two issues here.

The first issue is the crash. This occurs because updates.topics originally was defined as a dict, but I had changed that to None as a memory optimization. In import_ddlc, updateTopicIDs was being called before updates.topics would be init, so instead of returning old_persistent (as updates.topics was an empty dict), it was trying to perform dict operations on a Nonetype.

Which leads to the 2nd issue. Turns out, those calls to updateTopicIDs could be pointless in some cases because updates.topics only was initialized in a version number change.

I've added a fix that moves updates.topics init into a label, and adds appropriate calls to this label before updateTopicIDs is called in import_ddlc.
