Steam Deck Verified update

This update brings the game to the Verified (green) Steam Deck status.

While it doesn't sound too involving to adjust the game for the Steam Deck, you can check out the recent code changes in the game to see that it wasn't a breeze.

Change logs

Steam Deck Compat

Added gamepad in-menu navigation (D-pad and left stick)
Added a "larger fonts" option that enables ~x1.3 font scaling (enabled by default on Steam Deck)
Accessibility: Stats & Progress profile screens now use a larger base font
Accessibility: credits is now a multi-page screen to fit a larger font
Accessibility: made text panels background darker

Note that if you started the game on your Steam Deck before, you will need to enable the larger fonts manually as the game respects your previous settings. Go to options -> accessibility to enable it.

Misc

Added a random drone selection button to the game lobby (all modes)
Projectile hit check does take the target size into account now (hitting larger targets is easier)

I had to draw a scaled bitmap font (x1.3) myself to get clear and pixel-perfect text in the game. Now Roboden has 2 bitmap fonts.
