Add VR locomotion: move/turn with thumbsticks while the menu is open
build / build (push) Successful in 2m25s

- Left thumbstick snap-turns, right thumbstick smooth-moves, letting the
  player line themselves up with the fixed game quad ("virtual screen")
  without needing physical room-scale space to do it in. Implemented via
  a second OpenXR reference space (a "play space") derived from the real
  LOCAL space by the inverse of the player's transform, so every existing
  quad/hit-testing/rendering call site just needed g_local_space swapped
  for it - no manual coordinate-transform math required elsewhere
- Generalized the ray/quad hit-testing in xr_input.c to a proper
  oriented-plane intersection (needed once quads can rotate); verified it
  degenerates to the old axis-aligned formula when unrotated, so the
  keyboard and non-recentered menu are unaffected
- The menu launcher now re-centers in front of the player, correctly
  oriented to face them, each time it's freshly reopened
- "Reset Position" (Main Menu tab) recenters using the player's current
  real head pose - not a plain reset-to-origin, which only undid
  thumbstick movement and ignored physical drift since the session
  started. The same recenter runs once automatically at startup too, as a
  fallback for when there's no complete saved position to use instead
- Position/orientation persists in questshock.config.json's new
  player_position group (independent of savegames), including new
  numeric-value support in the config file's hand-rolled JSON parser
  (previously string-enums only)

## Player Position (`player_position`)
Where the player is virtually standing/facing, independent of - and not
reset by - starting a new game or loading a save (same independence from
`prefs.txt`/savegames as every other group here). Set by moving around
in-headset (menu open, left thumbstick snap-turns, right thumbstick smooth-
moves) to line yourself up with the game quad ("virtual screen"). Height is
never included here - it always comes from your real tracked headset
height, not this file.
**Startup fallback**: only applied at startup if all three fields (`x`,
`z`, `yaw_degrees`) are present - a config file with none of them (or none
at all), or a partial/hand-edited one missing any of the three, falls back
to an automatic recenter instead (see **Reset Position** below), using
your real head pose at that moment. A complete saved position is applied
as-is, with no such recenter.
**Reset Position** (Main Menu tab) is a separate, live-only action, not a
config value: it recenters using your *current* real head pose, so the
game quad ends up directly ahead of wherever you're actually standing/
facing right now - not a plain "go back to `(0, 0, 0)`" (which would only
undo thumbstick movement, not any physical drift/rotation since the
session started). It's unrelated to `questshock.config.json` - it never
reads or writes this file.
### `x`, `z`
Horizontal position, in meters, on the play space's floor plane.
- **Type**: number
- **Restart required?**: No (live-appliable)
### `yaw_degrees`
Which way the player is virtually facing, in degrees.
