Implement a series of fixes for Mockingboard speech support based on feedback from TomCh. Much of this is actually changed merged from the Mockingboard detection code from TotalReplay (also feedback from TomCh). Bump the version number to 2.6 to prepare for the next release.

Fix an off by one error found by TomCh in the speech code which lead to the beginning of the next speech phrase to be played. This is why "excellent" sounded more like "excellent-ay". Worse, it would lead to the 5 bytes after the phrase "incredible" to be treated like speech data and who knows what that did.
...
Also, bump the version number to 2.6.a1 in preparation for a 2.6 release with these fixes.

Ensure that the game hint is set correctly even after loading a new level. The key is to check for an "end of game" condition at the top of the main game loop. Unless there is a bug in the "next level" code, it will never been the end of the game when the next level starts. But it is the end of game check which also sets the hint square which is the first square it can find with a valid move.

Detection of the //e card is buggy in the cc65 runtime so implement my own detection of this HW to workaround the buggy double lores implementation.

Add code to handle buggy double lores HW on the Apple //e card for the Mac. Apparently it doesn't handle the colour shifting that is required in the aux bank on other Apple // HW.

Only show the "enable/disable mouse" option if a mouse is actually present. Force the mouse option on when the options file is upgraded to the latest version. Allow mouse and joystick controls to co-exist. In past versions, the mouse interrupts messed up the joystick measurements but those are now done with interrupts disabled so that isn't a problem now. With this change, the mouse behaves like the mockingboard - it is auto-detected and just used but can be disabled if the user does not want it enabled even though present on the system.
...
Also bump the version number to 2.4.

Add code from Total Replay to detect the sound chip automatically on startup. This then leads to a complete rethinking about how to save/load the options for the game. It used to ask what slot the mockingboard was in (if any) and whether it had a speech chip. Now, the game should just know this information. So, I turned the first boolean in the save file into an options file version byte and bumped it to "2". The boolean was always true and was kind of a very simple "magic number" to say that the contents was valid. Now it is a version number of the contents. The slot number and boolean for the speech chip is are now each turned into booleans - one to say whether to enable a mockingboard if found and the other to enable the speech chip if found.
...
This means there are three booleans in the options related to sound now. The first one enables/disables sound entirely and is default on. The second is only relevant if the sound is enabled and says "use a mockingboard if present". Again this is true by default. Finally, the this says "use a speech chip on the mockingboard if present" and is only relevant if the mockingboard is also enabled.
So, the basic approach now is to default the "best" sound options and auto-detect the sound HW at launch. The user can then use the options to downgrade their sound all the way to basic Apple // sound or turn off the sound entirely.

Fix the mouse interrupt based VBL for the //c and //c+. This used to work under cc65 v2.13.3 but when I moved the codebase to cc65 v2.17, the mouse driver interrupt handler changed. It used to call the "show" callback routine when handling the interrupt. In v2.17, it stopped calling "show" from the interrupt handler and instead called a new "draw" callback. Because the "show" callback was not being called, the game would wait forever for a VBL interval on the //c and //c+. This fixes the problem by setting the "draw" hook to my VBL callback on the //c and //c+.
...
Bumped the version number to v2.3.

Do not turn on joystick control by default on first launch. Keyboard and mouse are the primary interfaces and joystick is just an option which can be turned on (but is a bit weird so not on by default).

Ported some mockingboard detection code from Total Replay into the startup. If there are no game options saved, then it tries to detect a Mockingboard and use it automatically. No detection for a speech chip yet (although that may be coming and if so, I will port that in also).

Total Replay would like a jump to $100 when the game quits. This change should do that. The version number also got bumped too 2.2a2.

Use uppercase for the file names because that works better with Total Replay. Fix a problem where HISCR is left on after switching to mixed mode. Fix bugs with formatting of the text when saving the game, prompting for the next level and notifying that the end of the game has been reached in mixed text mode.

Add a build option in the Makefile for a Total Reply build. For a TR build, we have a special quit handler which jumps to a special vector. Also in a TR build, ".tr" is appended to the version number to make it clear it is a TR build. Bump the version number up to 2.1.

Disable interrupts while reading from the joystick. By doing this, we can have the mouse and joystick drivers both enabled at the same time. Do not disable the mouse driver when mouse input is disabled. Register a "show" callback with the mouse driver and use that as a way to be notified of a VBL interval on the //c.
