New puzzle: `Light Up', by James H.

Also in this checkin (committed by mistake - I meant to do it
separately), a behind-the-scenes change to Slant to colour the two
non-touching classes of diagonals in different colours. Both colours
are set to black by default, but configuration by way of
SLANT_COLOUR_* can distinguish them if you want.

\C{lightup} \i{Light Up}
\cfg{winhelp-topic}{games.lightup}
You have a grid of squares. Some are filled in black; some of the
black squares are numbered. Your aim is to \q{light up} all the
empty squares by placing light bulbs in some of them.
Each light bulb illuminates the square it is on, plus all squares in
line with it horizontally or vertically unless a black square is
blocking the way.
To win the game, you must satisfy the following conditions:
\b All non-black squares are lit.
\b No light is lit by another light.
\b All numbered black squares have exactly that number of lights adjacent to
them (in the four squares above, below, and to the side).
Non-numbered black squares may have any number of lights adjacent to them.

Left-clicking in a non-black square will toggle the presence of a light
in that square. Right-clicking in a non-black square toggles a mark there to aid
solving; it can be used to highlight squares that cannot be lit, for example.
You may not place a light in a marked square, nor place a mark in a lit square.
The game will highlight obvious errors in red. Lights lit by other
lights are highlighted in this way, as are numbered squares which
do not (or cannot) have the right number of lights next to them.
Thus, the grid is solved when all non-black squares have yellow
highlights and there are no red lights.

\dt \e{%age of black squares}

\lcont{
This is a hint rather than an instruction. If the grid generator is
unable to generate a puzzle to this precise specification, it will
increase the proportion of black squares until it can.

\dt \e{Symmetry}
\dd Allows you to specify the required symmetry of the black squares
in the grid. (This does not affect the difficulty of the puzzles
noticeably.)
\dt \e{Difficulty}
\dd \q{Easy} means that the puzzles should be soluble without
backtracking or guessing, \q{Hard} means that some guesses will
probably be necessary.
