Say ALL IN on the felt

A player with nothing behind had a blank where their stack goes. So did a seat whose
stack nobody had entered. On a table with side pots that is the one distinction the
dealer is working from -- who can still be bet at, and who is already in for
everything they have -- and the felt drew the two states identically.

  Ann  $40  $160     has chips
  Ben  $40           all-in for 40
  Cal  $40  $160     has chips
  Dee  $12           all-in for 12

The action bar knew: it had already built "Main pot $48, Ann/Ben/Cal/Dee" and
"Side pot 1 $84, Ann/Ben/Cal". The table it sits under didn't say a word.

Betting.isAllIn is the same stack test nextToAct uses to pass over a player, which is
the point: the seat the felt marks is exactly the seat the dealer will never be asked
to act on again. There's a test asserting that equivalence rather than restating the
condition.

The second half of the condition matters. A seat with an empty stack that has put
nothing in is a busted player who shouldn't have been dealt in, not a player who
moved all-in, so it isn't marked.

"ALL IN" in gold where the stack was, and a warmer border on the seat -- deliberately
quieter than the acting-seat ring, because all-in is a standing fact about a player
rather than a request for attention.

9 tests (172 total). They fail on a naive condition: dropping the committed-chips and
folded checks fails 4 of them.
