Rework the megademo to fit the 80-column source line limit

AKBASIC_MAX_LINE_LENGTH's cut from 256 to 80 left seventeen lines of
examples/megademo unloadable: the sixteen IM$() picture strings (up to
252 characters) and TUNEA/TUNEB's four-bar PLAY strings (174 and 175).
The real ceiling is 78 characters, not 80 -- stdio_readline() refuses a
read that fills the 80-byte buffer without a newline, so content plus
its terminator must fit in 79.

The picture: vaporwave.py's PAYLOAD drops from 240 to 64, so every
emitted IM$(NN) = "..." line fits under the ceiling. chop() no longer
slices blind; it walks the stream a record at a time -- two characters
for a run, three for an R row record -- and never cuts inside one,
because the decoder reads a record's tail with MID on the string it is
walking and a record straddling two IM$ entries decodes as garbage.
The old blind slice at 240 only happened to be safe. verify() now
simulates the CHOPPED strings with the cursor threaded across the
boundaries exactly the way DRAWSTREAM executes them, so a bad cut is
an assertion failure instead of a corrupted screen, and emit_block()
asserts every emitted line fits. The picture is 56 strings where it
was 16; the decoder needed no changes at all, since it already carries
X#/Y# from one IM$ entry to the next.

The music: TUNEA and TUNEB each become four PLAY statements, one bar
apiece. play.c keeps voice, envelope, level and duration state on the
runtime across statements and every PLAY appends to the same queue, so
four bars queue exactly as one long string did. Each bar restates the
V1T3U9S prefix so a bar dropped by QFULL cannot leave the next batch
playing on the drum kit's envelope.

Everything still clears the shrunken pools with room to spare: 1625
source lines of 2048, ~704 array slots of 2048, identifiers within the
24-character symtab key. Verified end to end against this branch's
build: the demo loads, the offscreen host renders every scene, and the
scene-5 still is pixel-identical to vaporwave.py's own preview. The
test suite fails the same seventeen cases with and without this
commit.
