Translucency Improvements

• ENDOOM can now be shown fullscreen
• ENDOOM is now drawn inside the existing window, instead of creating a new window

More Improvements

• New Software "Fuzz Scale At Distance" option that allows you to scale the fuzz of specteres from a distance

• During casual play, you can now advance the text screen (via key press) for Doom 1 and Heretic
