Reset Timer Doodad + Various Fixes

* Bird is not solid when colliding with other birds.
* If the dev shell is used to run JavaScript during Play Mode, consider
  it cheating (so player can't `$ d.Scene.ResetTimer()` for example)
* On Survival Mode levels, DieByFire immediately opens the End Level
  (silver score) modal rather than respawn from checkpoint, so levels
  don't need checkpoint contraptions to end the level.
* During level loading screens, wait and call doodads' main() function
  until the very end.

 * The toolbar buttons are smaller and rearranged. On medium-size screens
   or larger, the toolbar buttons are drawn side-by-side in two columns.
   On narrower screens with less real estate, it will use a single column
   when it fits better.
 
+New doodads:
