    syncscumm: list the ready-to-install packages for Synchronet sysops

    The README documented the manual/commercial install path in depth (the
    Maniac Mansion worked example) but never gave Synchronet sysops a single
    place to see the titles that ship as ready-made, one-command packages.
    Four of the seven were only mentioned in passing inside the engine table,
    and three (synclure, syncdrascula, betrayedalliance) weren't referenced
    at all.

    Add a "Ready-to-install packages (Synchronet)" section listing all seven
    -- the four officially-relicensed freeware classics (Beneath a Steel Sky, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Lure of the Temptress, Drascula) and the three
    free fan games (Space Quest 0, Cascade Quest, Betrayed Alliance) -- each
    with its xtrn package directory, ScummVM engine, and the one-line
    `jsexec install-xtrn ../xtrn/<pkg>` installer. The installer registers the door, seeds per-user config, and runs the package's getdata.js to fetch
    the data from the rights-holder/author (no copyrighted bytes in the repo). Point the intro and the Maniac Mansion section's install-xtrn note at the
    new section instead of repeating it.

    Only the maniac (Maniac Mansion) install on Vertrauen has no committed
    package -- deliberately: it is a commercial title with no free data source
    to fetch, already covered as the supply-your-own-data worked example.

    Docs only.

    syncscumm: document the aspect key in the README

    The README lists what an optional syncscumm.ini is for and points at the example file for the detail; picture shape was missing from that list.
    Worth a short passage of its own rather than a word in the list, because
    it is the one setting whose right value depends on the individual game
    rather than on the host: these are VGA mode 13h titles, drawn on a
    320x200 grid for a 4:3 screen, and whether undoing that looks better is a matter of taste per title.
