ZeroK: Matchmaking and Terraform Mission Tweaks

This is a small update to the matchmaker and planet Kirdipan – the terraform mission. Kirdipan is a bit fairer with tweaks such as clear Pylon lines, Owls to scout the map, and no underwater units.

The 1v1 matchmaker now looks like a single queue with two option for a wider search range (handicap and ranked). The ‘Match Available’ status should reliably report the game type, with ‘1v1’ corresponding to a narrow search range game, and ‘1v1 Handicap’/’1v1 Wide’ corresponding to the two options. Both can be ticked to accept both types of game. The standard search range has also been increased from 330 to 345.
