    syncduke: add SyncDOOM-vs-SyncDuke feature comparison

    Evidence-backed comparison of the two termgfx doors across multiplayer/lobby, multi-map (WADset/GRP), Synchronet integration, and the text-tier fallback.

    Corrects an earlier-draft error that surveyed only the C door and wrongly called
    SyncDuke lobby-less: SyncDuke ships a full JS lobby (xtrn/syncduke/lobby.js + syncduke_lib.js on the shared exec/load/game_lobby.js) with Create/Join co-op, registry-based cross-node discovery, a waiting room, and node paging. Also documents SyncDOOM's door-written events.jsonl activity log and the lobby feed it drives (frags/level-clears/deaths) -- which SyncDuke lacks.

    Log Message:
    syncduke: correct comparison doc (legible overlay done, example.ini committed)

    - The legible text-tier message overlay is no longer a gap: 6aeadc2978 gave
    SyncDuke the game quotes/chat -> real ANSI redraw. Update the matrix row, the
    Gap A entry, the roadmap item, and the takeaway to reflect parity with SyncDOOM
    (only Duke's menus still block-render).
    - Fix the caveat that wrongly claimed no syncduke.example.ini is committed: the
    templates xtrn/<door>/{syncduke,syncdoom}.example.ini ARE tracked; only the live
    per-BBS *.ini is untracked. (The earlier draft globbed only src/doors/**.)
