    syncduke/syncdoom: new lobby menu art by tainted + grymmjack

    Replace both lobby.msg files with new 80-column ANSI art drawn for
    these doors by tainted and grymmjack (MiSTiGRiS / FIRE), adapted from
    the artists' 25-row originals:

    - 24 rows, since many 25-line terminals reserve a status row.
    - The menu box lists the keys the lobbies accept (M/S/H/L/Q) and sits
    above the bottom six rows, which the optional live panel overwrites.
    - SyncDOOM: the menu moved beside the logo; the area it vacated is
    filled with a red mound on a shaded backdrop.
    - The files end in @EOF@ so printfile() doesn't send a newline after
    the last row and scroll the top row off a 24-row screen.
    - Bright-background (Ctrl-A E) codes follow the colour codes they apply
    to. The SyncDuke title box uses a bright-yellow background, shown
    only to users with iCE colours enabled (brown otherwise).

    syncduke/syncdoom: whole-word lobby menu items with colored command keys

    Each menu item was drawn as a command key in its own framed cell
    followed by the rest of the word, and only the rest of the word was the lightbar item, so clicking the key letter itself did nothing. Draw each
    item as the whole word in one attribute, spanning the menu box, and
    mark the full row as the item. The first letter of each word is shown
    as the command key through the new second field of @BARATTR (blue for
    SyncDuke, red for SyncDOOM).
