    syncduke: allow 11-char player names; strip whitespace when over-long

    getnames() and the type-6 receive both capped the netgame name at 10 chars (the stock fragbar-field limit), truncating an 11-char alias like "Digital Man" to "DIGITAL MA". Raise both ends to 11 (= MAXPLAYERNAMELENGTH; user_name[] is 32 and
    the name packet is variable-length, so the arrays/protocol already have room). For
    an alias longer than 11, drop whitespace first so the cap keeps more alphanumerics
    ("Digital Man Jr" -> "DIGITALMANJ"). The deathmatch fragbar column is drawn for 10,
    so an 11th char sits a touch wide there (cosmetic; co-op's player list has room).

    syncduke: don't hang on multi-GRP getch() prompt (Win32 door)

    The Win32 findGRPToUse() interactively prompted (printf + getch()) when the
    GRP directory held more than one duke3d*.grp. In a socket door that hangs the node: the prompt targets the host console, not the remote user, so nobody can answer it -- and getch() returning EOF (no console) spins the selection loop forever. That branch also assigned a char* (groupfile[kbdKey-'1']) into the
    int grpID and then used it as an array index -> out-of-bounds read.

    Take the first match deterministically (grpID = 0), logging a notice when more than one is found -- mirroring the *nix branch, which already returned the first match with no prompt. A specific GRP can still be isolated via [grp] dir.

    Win32-only change (#ifdef _WIN32); the *nix path is unchanged. Verified: builds clean under MSVC.
