Dav999-v 0023c821db Make menus automatically centered and narrowed 
All menus had a hardcoded X position (offset to an arbitrary starting
point of 110) and a hardcoded horizontal spacing for the "staircasing"
(mostly 30 pixels, but for some specific menus hardcoded to 15, 20 or
something else). Not all menus were centered, and seem to have been
manually made narrower (with lower horizontal spacing) whenever text
ran offscreen during development.

This system may already be hard to work with in an English-only menu
system, since you may need to adjust horizontal spacing or positioning
when adding an option. The main reason I made this change is that it's
even less optimal when menu options have to be translated, since
maximum string lengths are hard to determine, and it's easy to have
menu options running offscreen, especially when not all menus are
checked for all languages and when options could be added in the middle
of a menu after translations of that menu are already checked.

Now, menus are automatically centered based on their options, and they
are automatically made narrower if they won't fit with the default
horizontal spacing of 30 pixels (with some padding). The game.menuxoff
variable for the menu X position is now also offset to 0 instead of 110

The _default_ horizontal spacing can be changed on a per-menu basis,
and most menus (not all) which already had a narrower spacing set,
retain that as a maximum spacing, simply because they looked odd with
30 pixels of spacing (especially the main menu). They will be made even
narrower automatically if needed. In the most extreme case, the spacing
can go down to 0 and options will be displayed right below each other.
This isn't in the usual style of the game, but at least we did the best
we could to prevent options running offscreen.

The only exception to automatic menu centering and narrowing is the
list of player levels, because it's a special case and existing
behavior would be better than automatic centering there.
