Log Message:
xtrn: the config a sysop edits is no longer the one git tracks

A door's stock .ini that the sysop is meant to edit -- a JSONdb host/port,
a colour scheme, game-balance knobs -- was version-controlled as the live
file, so configuring a door left a dirty working tree forever and a pull
could conflict with those edits.

26 doors now track <name>.example.ini instead (a pure rename), seed the
live file from a [copy:] step in install-xtrn.ini, and .gitignore it. flight_sim, gttrivia, groupie_news_reader, syncalert and syncdawn already shipped a template but never seeded it; the doors already following the
pattern get the .gitignore line they lacked. synchess keeps its synchess-dist.ini name -- same purpose -- and only gains the ignore rule.
Doors with no install-xtrn.ini are left alone: no installer means no
supported install path to hang the [copy:] step on.

install-xtrn.js processes sections by type, and [copy:] ran after [ini:].
17 of these doors have an [ini:server.ini] that sets the upstream host, so
with the seed running second the file did not exist yet and install() fell
back to file_cfgname(ctrl_dir, ...), writing ctrl/server.ini instead of
the door's. Run [copy:] first.

An unattended (-auto) install also returned an error string when the copy destination existed. ctrl/xtrn.ini is not written until the end, so that discarded every program staged so far: the console printed "<Desc>
installed successfully" and then "Installed 0 external programs" -- the
[exec:] non-.js trap's shape exactly. Keep the sysop's file and carry on. Interactive behaviour is unchanged: the sysop is still asked, and
declining still aborts.

Both present since e92b4873ff (date-5-goals) added [copy:] support after
the existing [ini:] loop.

The documented "required" key on [ini:] and [copy:] sections was dead:
both loops tested a bare `required`, which resolved to the hoisted-but-unassigned var from the [service:] loop below. Inert today --
no section in the tree sets it. Present since 72f94e1e90 (seem-3-golf).

Six mcmlxxix sysop.doc files told the sysop a SERVER.INI was included with
the game; xtrn/CLAUDE.md documented the opposite .gitignore rule.
