Changes

Bug fixes and enhancements:

Better "Loading..." screen.
Load an enemy of each kind in Game.run to generate the hitmasks.
Got rid of huge border when in windowed display.
Reduced height requirement so game will fit on 1024x768 monitors.
Tweaked factory: implemented per-type max_on_patrol instead of the shared max_on_patrol. Whilst in there, the patrol dispatcher was enhanced to turn out more interesting combinations.
Tweaked the algorithm that increases max-on-patrol over time.
- For each game, every five waves the default for all enemy types increases by 1. Net effect: every five waves the wave starts out a bit harder.
- For each wave, about every 30 seconds a random enemy type's max will be increased by 1. This is cumulative for the wave only. It is reset to the game default when the next wave starts. Net effect: every 30 seconds the wave gets a bit harder.
Fixed: Menu and marquis sounds were playing over music. They no longer play if a song is playing.
