feat: add shadow DDGame field comparison for incremental testing

After the original DDGame__Constructor runs, compare its output
against what create_ddgame() would write. Enabled when OPENWA_VALIDATE=1.

Results: all 11 parameter fields match perfectly. Also dumps key
pointer fields (landscape, display_gfx, coord_list, fill_pixel, etc.)
as reference targets for the remaining porting work.
