feat(games): the arcade goes from six games to twenty-two - #366

`/games asteroids` and `/games blackjack` (also `21`), sharing the frame, the key decoder and the driver every other game in the cabinet already uses. Asteroids is the real-time one. The 1979 cabinet did not have to care that a terminal cell is twice as tall as it is wide; everything here measures distance in columns and counts a row as two, which is the only reason the rocks come out round and a collision happens where the screen showed it. Rocks break into two of the next size down, small ones pay most, the screen has no edges, and the ship blinks while it cannot be hit. Blackjack deals before the frame lands — no bet prompt, no options screen. Hit, stand, double and split, dealer stands on all 17s, blackjack pays 3:2, and a split 21 is twenty-one rather than a natural, which is the rule most home versions get wrong. Between hands the arrows are the chips; the stack is 100 and the game ends when it is gone. Both are pure the way the rest of the arcade is, so test/games.test.mjs plays them: it wrecks a ship, splits rocks down to nothing, walks a stack to broke and proves the box does not change width between hands. Fixes two things the letter games had been quietly losing to the shared decoder. `h j k l` became arrows for every game, and `r` was always a restart — so hangman could not be told the letters in `refactor`, and `h` could never mean hit. Games that read letters now opt out with `vim: false` and `restartable: false`; arrows are untouched, so blackjack still bets with them.

Sixteen new games for
/games, all on the same frame, key decoder and driver the original six already used. Every one of them is pure — create a state, hand it a key, hand it a tick, ask it for rows — sotest/games.test.mjsplays them all without a TTY anywhere near it.invaderscentipedeasteroidsbreakoutpongtankdigdugfroggerkongpitfallchoplifterspyhunteroutrunexcitebikestagediveblackjackEvery game has to be winnable and losable, and both are tested
The pattern throughout: a bot that plays properly has to get somewhere, and a bot that doesn't has to die. That is what caught the real bugs.
Also: two bugs the letter games were losing to the shared decoder

Donkey Kong's sloped girders and Pole Position's perspective road are the two things a terminal row cannot honestly draw. Kong is here with flat girders — the slope's job is kept, since each girder has a direction and the chute sits at its far end — and Pole Position's road is here as OutRun, which is the same renderer with a clock worth playing against. A second copy of it with a lap counter would have been the same game twice.
