Hook up the engine's new title screen as the front door

Browse Source 
MRPGI (fa7fa10) grew a title screen / world picker: point --game at a
folder of game folders and you get the shelf. cases/collection.json names
it POLICE SQUAD QUEST, and a bare ./play.sh now opens it instead of the
shell menu — arrow keys, Enter to play, Esc backs out of a case to the
shelf. ./play.sh <number> still jumps straight in.

That lists the cases and asks which one. `./play.sh 07` jumps straight to one.
That opens the engine's **title screen** — the whole campaign on one shelf,
arrow keys to choose, Enter to play, Esc backs out of a case to the shelf.
`./play.sh 07` still jumps straight to one case. The shelf's big title comes
from [cases/collection.json](cases/collection.json).
