[stella] WIP: Salmon Run: Asymmetrical Playfield

[Thom Cherryhomes]

it is my intention to keep PF0 filled to stretch it all the way
across. I am currently reworking the kernel (rewriting it completely),
to use pointers into prerendered sections of the ROM, and just slam
PF0, PF1, PF2, PF2, PF1 as needed.
