Changes the turn order for PBEM games to AB|BA|AB|B..., where A=U.S. and B=Soviet and the vertical bar denotes the end of the turn. This has two advantages:

  1. Latency is cut in half because you can play two turns in a row without having to wait for the other player to respond.
  2. Evenly balances the advantage to be able to make a last minute scrub depending on the other player's prestige firsts.

Fixes a bug with the event counting system, which did not work
properly when the U.S. side was played by the computer. This led
side effects on the Soviet side, like repeated addition of job
review scores. Fixes raceintospace#683.
Changes the turn order in PBEM games to a snake format. After the
first U.S. turn, the Soviet side gets two turns in row (Spring/Fall
'57), followed by two U.S. turns (Fall '57/Spring '58), etc.

Great idea! This would greatly speed up PBEM games, probably make them more interesting too.
