feat(vegas): keep live games in the ticker by default

display.vegas_scroll.live_in_ticker now defaults to true: through a live
game the marquee keeps running and the live scoreboard takes extra turns in
it -- its cards updating in place while they scroll -- instead of the ticker
giving way to the full-screen scoreboard.

The new default would reach nobody on its own: every existing config holds
an explicit false copied from the template (there was no control for it),
and the template merge only adds missing keys. ConfigManager therefore turns
a stored false on once, with a backup, and records live_in_ticker_migrated
so a false chosen afterwards stays. The marker is never in the template.

A "Keep live games in the ticker" checkbox under Vegas mode sets it. Tests
that pin the full-screen takeover now say live_in_ticker=false.

Two things change, both off by default. `live_in_ticker` keeps the marquee
running instead of yielding to a full-screen takeover, and the rotation is
expanded by Smooth Weighted Round-Robin so a weighted plugin gets several
slots per cycle, spaced through it rather than clumped.

Weights are per plugin, not per game: a scoreboard showing four live games
still occupies one slot at a time and rotates its own games within it.
