Patch fixes luck-based starting and more

Patch Notes 1.1.2.44
a.k.a. "Torch & Pitchfork update" ;)

Added:
- Flag counter in each mode. You can place more flags than bombs, if you want.
- Clue-numbers can be colored like in the original Minesweeper (enable in "Settings")
- Option to toggle only between flag->no flag and not flag->question mark->no flag (enable in "Settings")
- Option to start over from Level 1 on Game Over without the need to return to the title screen.

Changed:
- First clicks almost always open an empty tile ("island"), unless the playing field is very small and/or the number of bombs is too high to clear an opening (only applies to custom mode)
- Flagged tiles are now protected and never open automatically (unless with the very first click on a new field)
- The amount of lives you have when starting depends on the highest level you reached to lessen the need for hearts-farming on lower levels

UI:
- Click on the flag counter element to clear all flags.
- Tickboxes added to UI

Fixes:
- Achievement "Need 4 Sweep" is now attainable
- Achievement "Class of '92" is now attainable
- Achievement "Fine Keeper" is now attainable
- Bug where flagging an empty field led to bombless levels
- Crash for some users when closing the achievements screen (hopefully!)
- Typo in German version.
