Subject: [PATCH] Release 4.12.4

Version string, zip name and README. Cut as its own release rather than
replacing 4.12.3's asset again: the three test machines need to be able
to tell builds apart from what the log and the README say, and a binary
that reports 4.12.3 while carrying the lobby work defeats exactly that.

This one is about the lobby. Both rooms show the host's mission setup,
the football team sheet names each player's VTV, and a lobby holds eight
players rather than four.
