v1.31.0 — Start the game without scrolling past the settings

The phone's opening screen had quietly filled up. Between the board picker, the
half-time toggle and the difficulty added in v1.30.0, it carried seven full-width
buttons — and "Start a new game" had dropped off the bottom of the screen on a
phone. The first thing a guest saw was a wall of options and no obvious way to play.

Half-time trivia and difficulty now live on /admin. They apply to every new game
and are remembered, so they belong with the other things the person running the server
decides, behind ADMIN_PASSWORD if you have one set. The phone keeps the board picker,
since which screen to play on genuinely changes from game to game.

That also closes a side door: previously any player could change either setting, and
the change stuck for every future game. A guest picking a harder mix on their way out
was not obvious to anyone afterwards.

Also fixed: the "no scoreboard" option named a specific room. It now reads
"No scoreboard — music on the speaker", the speaker being whichever one you have
configured.

Upgrading changes nothing about how your games play — the same settings, in a better
place. As always, the app never touches your music files.
