one; so we can't just set `ret->completed = ret->movecount' and hope
it's been set to something other than zero. Instead, we set both
move counts to 1, which is entirely arbitrary but works.
This fixes a subtle bug with the Solve feature: if you pressed
Solve, then disturbed the grid, then brought it back to the solved
state by making more forward moves (rather than using Undo), then
the first time you did this the `Moves since auto-solve' status line
would reset to zero.

it performed a fixed number of shuffling moves, and on each one it
had a 2/3 chance of flipping the permutation parity and a 1/3 chance
of keeping it the same. Markov analysis shows that over a run of
1500-odd shuffle moves this will end up being an undetectably small
actual bias in the parity of the generated grid, but it offends my
sense of pedantry nonetheless so here's a small change to make the
number of shuffling moves itself have randomly chosen parity. The
parity of generated grids should now be _exactly_ 50:50.

various things:
- if you haven't fully understood what a game is about, it gives
you an immediate example of a puzzle plus its solution so you can
understand it
- in some games it's useful to compare your solution with the real
one and see where you made a mistake
- in the rearrangement games (Fifteen, Sixteen, Twiddle) it's handy
to be able to get your hands on a pristine grid quickly so you
can practise or experiment with manoeuvres on it
- it provides a good way of debugging the games if you think you've
encountered an unsolvable grid!

constructed at the same time as an internally generated game seed,
so that it can preserve any interesting information known by the
program at generation time but not physically contained within the
text of the game seed itself. (Such as, for example, the solution.)
Currently not used for anything yet, but it will be.

Currently the function does nothing (and is disabled) in every game
except Solo, but it's a start.

definitions, so let's move it so that it's just next to the
functions it relates to. This also opens the way for me to add more
booleans next to other functions without getting confused as to
which is which.

introduce a sensible game ID notation for orientable games, and
finally (*blush*) turn the orientability triangles back the right
way up.
