A hand-fed egg can run a whole race

Browse Source 
'-egg' skips the menu and drops straight into a mission, which is the
developer shortcut - and it installs no console, so nothing ever ends the
race. Everything after the chequered flag was therefore unreachable from
the command line: the buzzer, the fade, the winners' circle, the
teardown. All of it could only be exercised by hand through the menu.

RP412MISSIONSECONDS now marshals a hand-fed run as well, so a whole race
plays out unattended. That is the difference between a shortcut that can
be watched and one that can be TESTED, and it immediately earned itself:
it caught RP412PODIUM=0 holding the mission open for its full eleven
seconds with the podium switched off. The environ file promises "straight
to the results"; the hold is applied without asking whether the podium is
on, so what you actually get is the same wait against a black screen.
That one is not fixed here - it wants a decision about the hold's length
as well - but it is now reproducible in one command.

pack-dist keeps frontend.egg for the same reason. It is written on launch
and holds the menu's last selection, so it is what lets '-egg
frontend.egg' drop back into the track under test - and a repack was
wiping it, which turns the next run into a zero-byte file and an abort on
"no map in egg".
