Log Message:
syncdoom: FAST TURN default, change-only prefs, quit fog, editable splash

Door/lobby polish (all built; FAST TURN and the teleport-fog quit live-confirmed
in MP):

- FAST TURN: a new Options-menu checkbox / [input] instant_turn that defeats
  Doom's slow-start turn-acceleration ramp -- the ramp keeps resetting on
  terminal key-repeat gaps and makes turning feel laggy. Now DEFAULT ON, with the
  TURN grace lowered (150 -> 75 ms) so full-speed taps don't over-swing. Per-user,
  saved. (The inline input rows shift up a touch to fit the new option.)
- Per-user prefs now save ONLY settings the player actually changed from the
  sysop/built-in default; matching keys are removed. So a sysop's house defaults
  keep reaching returning players for any key they never touched in-game.
- [game] quit_effect = keep | vanish | fog (default fog): a departing player's
  marine teleports out (fog puff + sound) instead of standing frozen. The body is
  removed deterministically across the lockstep netgame, so it's a house setting,
  not a per-user toggle.
- [game] splash: the waiting-room backdrop is now an external, editable
  waiting.bin (80x25 raw char+attr "binary text", PabloDraw/Moebius-editable),
  loaded at startup with the baked-in art as fallback. tools/gen_splash.py emits
  it alongside the C header.
- READMEs + syncdoom.example.ini updated for all of the above.
