feat: cel-shaded look & feel overhaul — real audio, comic UI, themed VFX

Audio (all CC0 — Kenney packs + OpenGameArt, see assets/sounds/SOURCES.md):
- Replace every procedural synth WAV with forged sounds (ffmpeg pitch/layer
  mixes): distinct fire sounds per weapon with 2-3 variations, explosions,
  footsteps x5, land/jump/dash/vault, knife swing, hit/kill confirms,
  bullet impacts, reload, flight loops, UI hover/click/confirm/error,
  match jingles, menu music
- AudioManager.stream_for(): AudioStreamRandomizer per sound id — every
  weapon now gets variation + pitch randomization on each shot
- Explosions and bullet impacts play positional audio; landing has its own
  sound instead of a pitched footstep; ambient wind bed on every map

Visuals:
- ExplosionVFX: shared cel-shaded burst (white-hot stepped core, ink
  shockwave ring, star spikes, flat smoke puffs) replaces the orange
  sphere in both local and remote-replay paths
- Comic star muzzle flashes on all weapons; unified cel tracer bolts with
  ink outlines across hitscan/shotgun/remote paths
- Impact decals: hard-stepped ink-splat gradients instead of soft airbrush
- Toon shading on first-person view models + arms, third-person weapons,
  and the procedural humanoid fallback (no hull outlines on FBX weapons —
  their hard normals tear the inverted hull)
- Fix: giant soft "blob" highlight on floors — toon rim/specular disabled
  on level-geometry materials (pre-existing artifact since the cel commit)
- Fix: own third-person weapon rendered into the first-person camera
  (shadows-only now covers first_person_mode)

UI:
- UITheme: comic theme on the root window — Bangers display font (OFL),
  paper panels with thick ink borders + hard drop shadows, papaya accent,
  themed buttons/inputs/popups; hover/click sounds on all menu buttons
- Main menu: tilted comic wordmark, sunset toon diorama, looping menu music
- Match HUD: themed scoreboard/killfeed/kill counter

Viewports:
- 4x MSAA project-wide + viewmodel/diorama viewports (crisp ink lines)
- Viewmodel camera near plane 0.01; third-person camera FOV syncs settings
- debug/visual_capture.gd: dev tool to screenshot menu + level for review

Verified: 11/11 movement tests, spawn smoke test 0 failures, before/after
screenshot comparison of menu and level.

# Sound sources
All current WAVs are forged (pitch/layer/trim via ffmpeg — see repo history)
from these CC0 packs, no attribution required:
- Kenney Impact Sounds — https://kenney.nl/assets/impact-sounds (CC0)
- Kenney Sci-Fi Sounds — https://kenney.nl/assets/sci-fi-sounds (CC0)
- Kenney Interface Sounds — https://kenney.nl/assets/interface-sounds (CC0)

Exceptions (still procedural from `generate_sounds.py`): `wind.wav`,
`wallrun.wav`, `slide.wav` — seamless noise loops that the Kenney one-shots
can't replace.
Menu music: `music_menu.wav` — "Menu Music" by mrpoly, CC0,
