Gitea #48: add BT_NO_PILOTLIST=1 -- make the operator's comms hypothesis decidable

Browse Source 
The operator reports consistently, across two sessions, that the MFD artifacts
began the night the Comm pilot list was enabled (#43) and were never seen before.
Four static theories of mine died -- plane masks (all 7 primitives invert
correctly), L4GraphicLamp (never instantiated, dead code), the sec-port lamps
(wrong plane AND wrong colour, operator confirmed on sight from the decoded art),
vertBar/VertTwoPartBar (clamps every value, sets its cursor per draw).  And no
rig reproduces it: not 2 pilots, not 5 pilots on last night's exact roster, not
autofire + repeated valve moves.

So stop theorising and make the field observation decidable: BT_NO_PILOTLIST=1
makes PilotList::Execute draw nothing, everything else untouched.
  artifacts gone with it / present without => confirmed, and it is the workaround
  artifacts either way                     => not the pilot list

Diagnostic only, default OFF.
