Glass panels: flash at full rate when unfocused + red Panic/Eject button

Two glass-panel indicator fixes reported by playtesters.

1. FLASH SLOW UNLESS FOCUSED.  The per-display panel windows repaint off a
   62ms WM_TIMER, and Windows coalesces/throttles timer + paint messages for a
   window that is in the BACKGROUND (unfocused) -- so with the game window
   holding focus the panels' lamp flash (a repaint-driven animation) crawled,
   and giving a panel focus un-throttled it.  (My earlier surround fix drew in
   the main D3D frame and never touched these separate windows.)  New
   BTGlassPanels_Tick(), called once per frame from the main render loop
   (L4VIDEO), drives a synchronous InvalidateRect+UpdateWindow at the ~16Hz
   flash cadence -- the main loop runs every frame regardless of which window
   has focus, and the forced paint bypasses the throttled timer-message path.
   The WM_TIMER stays for its one-shot re-snap.

2. RED PANIC/EJECT.  0x3D is the Panic/Eject button; on the blue flight panel
   it was just another blue block.  The shared flight-grid geometry (L4RIOBANK)
   now tags 0x3D as colorClass 0 (red); L4GLASSWIN's AdoptBank maps colorClass
   0 -> ClrRed explicitly (the flight bank's ClrBlue default no longer swallows
   it), and the surround (L4VB16) already renders non-blue/yellow as red -- so
   the eject stands out red in both the surround and the exploded window.

Verified: Release links clean (40 tolerated /FORCE externals only); exploded
panels boot + run 13s no crash under the per-frame repaint pump; riobank dump
confirms 0x3d class=0 (red), neighbours class=2 (blue).
