RGB keyboard lamp mirror + the shipped controls reference

Browse Source 
KEYBOARD LAMP MIRROR (L4KEYLIGHT).  Ported from RP412, itself a port of vRIO's
KeyboardLampMirror.  Keys bound to a lamp address in bindings.txt glow with the
panel palette through Windows Dynamic Lighting -- yellow for the map's side
columns (0x10-0x1F), red for the rest -- flashing in step with the on-screen
buttons (its LampLevel copy matches the FIXED BTLampBrightnessOf).  Per-key
boards light each bound key; zone-lit boards mirror the strongest lamp
board-wide.  All WinRT runs on a private worker thread: watcher, claim, and a
100 ms paint loop that repaints only on change.

RP412's packing hazard does NOT transfer: it forces default struct packing there
because its engine is /Zp1, which would break the WinRT ABI.  BT411's BT_OPTS
carries no /Zp, so only the dialect flags are needed -- /std:c++17
/permissive- per-file, since the project otherwise builds C++14 /permissive.
The scalars-only interface is kept anyway so the isolation survives if packing
is ever added.

Wired in PadRIO: map built from bindings.keyBindings (ActionButton binds only,
first-binding-wins per key), fed from PadRIO::SetLamp, stopped in the dtor
(which hands the LEDs back to Windows).  BT_KEYLIGHT=0 opts out; a machine
without Dynamic Lighting logs once and stays dormant.

Verified live: claimed this machine's 24-zone keyboard and mirrors 25 bound
keys; BT_KEYLIGHT=0 and the pod profile produce zero keylight lines and run
clean.

SHIPPED CONTROLS REFERENCE.  docs/CONTROLS.md carries the keyboard table plus
the full 72-BUTTON POD MAP, grouped by the display each bank surrounds, with the
coolant-valve detent warning (1-5-50-CLOSED, one press past max shuts the loop)
and the jam/eject procedure.  mkdist flattens it to ASCII as CONTROLS.txt at the
zip root, the README's own idiom.  players/README.txt gained pointers to it, to
environ.ini, to -fit, and to the RGB mirror.

KB: context/glass-cockpit.md and docs/GLASS_COCKPIT.md updated for the whole
branch -- layout modes, L4RIOBANK and the under-glass rule, the letterbox fit
and its ordering trap, player-tunable displays, the measured legend grid, the
closed dead-button backlog, and this mirror.

Verified: five-mode regression (surround/exploded/dock/pod/dev) boots and
simulates with zero faults; mkdist writes a 5149-byte pure-ASCII CONTROLS.txt.

FULL CONTROLS REFERENCE: see CONTROLS.txt next to this file -- every one of
the pod's 72 cockpit buttons, what it does, and which display it sits on.
COCKPIT LAYOUT: content\environ.ini (written on first run, every option
documented in the file itself) sizes the MFDs and the map, moves the map out
of the middle of the road, or breaks each display into its own window. The
cockpit now scales to ANY window shape without distorting -- drag it, maximise
it, or launch with -fit for borderless full screen.
RGB KEYBOARDS: if yours supports Windows Dynamic Lighting, the keys you have
bound to cockpit buttons glow in the panel's colours and flash along with it.
