    syncdoom: bake in a bespoke fiery-DOOM-logo waiting-room splash

    The multiplayer waiting room had no backdrop. Render a baked-in 80x25 splash (the same "ENDOOM" char+CGA-attr cell format) behind the player panel: a fiery DOOM logo (chrome -> white -> yellow -> orange -> red gradient with molten drips), "S Y N C" overhead, and a tagline. The art is bespoke -- NOT derived from any commercial Doom asset -- so it ships safely in the public tree (a Freedoom ENDOOM looked poor, and doom.wad's is copyrighted).

    - sd_render_screen(cells): generalizes the former WAD-ENDOOM renderer to draw
    any 80x25 char+attr buffer (CGA attribute -> SGR, raw CP437 or UTF-8 per the
    terminal's charset), capped to the terminal's row count.
    - sd_splash.h: the embedded splash array, generated by tools/gen_splash.py
    (Pillow). Edit the generator, not the header.
    - Drops the w_wad.h/z_zone.h includes (no longer reading a WAD lump).

    syncdoom: redo the splash as a shaded-block DOOM wordmark

    The first splash used solid full-blocks in flat horizontal color bands -- the crude look real ANSI art avoids. Real ANSI grades color with shade glyphs (0xB0/0xB1/0xB2) that mix a bright foreground over a dark background to make intermediate tones (yellow over red = orange, etc.).

    Regenerate sd_splash.h as a crisp rasterized "DOOM" wordmark rendered that
    way: a white-hot top melting through a cyan-chrome band into a dithered yellow->orange->red fire, with a dark-red 3D bevel on the right/bottom letter edges, a left highlight, and molten drips. Still bespoke (not derived from any commercial Doom asset). tools/gen_splash.py rewritten to match (Pillow + numpy).

    Validated by rendering sd_splash.h through the door's exact emission path (pyte) behind the waiting-room panel.
