Fix 1-frame render glitch with running teleport scripts

Fixes #402 (Violet appearing 1 frame after the Ship teleporter room
appears).

The root cause of this bug is due to the game loop order changes made
with the over-30-FPS patch. 2.2's game loop order was gameinput(),
gamerender(), then gamelogic(). In 2.3, gamerender() was moved to the end
as it required special code to render more than 30 frames a second. So
2.3's game loop order is gameinput(), gamelogic(), then gamerender().

In hindsight, I could have preserved the game loop order, but this would
require some more complex code in the game loop than what is there
currently. Fixing it now would fix rendering glitches such as this one
(along with being able to remove script.dontrunnextframe with the
two-frame-delay fix), but it could also introduce new rendering glitches
we don't yet know about. After discussing this in Discord DMs with
flibit, we agreed that the game loop order should be fixed in 2.4
instead.

When the game teleports you, gamelogic() runs script.teleport(). This
function will gotoroom to the teleporter destination, then it loads the
teleport script. Some teleport scripts (such as levelonecomplete, which
creates Violet) expect that their entities will be created, and more
generally that their script will be ran, on the same frame that the
gotoroom happens, i.e. by the time that the next gamerender() happens,
i.e. script.run() should be ran before the next gamerender() happens.
This would be true on the old game loop order, but with the new game
loop order, gamerender() gets ran directly after gamelogic() with no
script.run() in between.

To fix this, I did the same thing I did with the two-frame-delay fix
(#317), where I ran the script for that frame, but in order to prevent
running it twice I set script.dontrunnextframe to true.
