0.60.0

• added optimisations for main render function and some draw API, like draw spr, circ and tri, now they > 2x faster (by @jahodfra)
• added special Overlap Mode (OVR), it allows you to do things like this:
  
  ... here I draw BG in TIC() function and change palette and screen offset in scanline() callback, then I draw Ship sprite in OVR() function as though it will be on a separate layer

• syntax highlighter in the Code Editor was totally rewritten and works 100x faster now
• [PRO feature] added Bank Switching, for people who want to create a really big game, you can switch between 8 banks in Runtime using sync() API, you can do it only one time per frame for tiles, sprites, map, sfx, music, info here https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/wiki/sync#parameters
• fixed keyboard focus on Android
• fixed selected deletion in Sprite Editor (by @frenetic)
