Keep the table above the action bar on wide screens

The bar publishes its height so the layout can stay clear of it. Only the phone and
landscape rules ever read it. The wide layout sized the felt from its own width -- a
box 72% as tall as it is wide -- and so had no idea what was underneath it.

That was survivable while the bar was a constant. It isn't: it grows from 117px to
172px the moment a hand needs a side pot, which is exactly the hand where the dealer
most needs to see who is still in. Measured with two side pots, six seats, the bottom
seat sat this far behind the bar:

  1280x900    22px      1600x1000   54px
  768x1024    23px      1024x768    clear
  360x640     39px      390x844     clear

The first attempt at this didn't work and the failure is worth recording: the wrap was
a padding-bottom: 72% box, and percentage padding resolves against the containing
block's width rather than the element's own. Capping the width narrowed the felt from
822px to 746px and left it exactly 617px tall, so the seat stayed where it was. It is
an aspect-ratio box now, and the shape is stated once as --feltAspect so the height
and the cap both derive from it.

  1280x900   felt 857x617 -> 746x537   seat 22px behind the bar -> 51px clear
  1600x1000       ...760 -> 885x637              54px behind -> 59px clear
  768x1024   felt 689x689 -> 603x603              23px behind -> 56px clear

Six-seat tables at 1280x900, 1600x1000, 1024x768 and 768x1024 all go from one covered
seat to a clean audit.

Not applied below 700px. The narrow layout already had an answer -- it reserves the
bar's height as scroll room under the table, and a phone is a thing you scroll -- and
capping there was measured and rejected: at 360x640 it took the felt from 321px to
226px, which fixed the six-seat ring and broke the nine-seat one, two covered seats
traded for two seats whose centre landed on a neighbour.

Landscape phones opt out too. They set their own height from the bar already and are
sitting on their 7rem floor; 844x390 and 667x375 still have the bottom seat in the
bar, and nothing about a 112px-tall table with 73px seats can fix that.

The seat overhang is a constant rather than something measured off the layout it is
about to change -- a seat is ~73px tall at every width -- so this settles in one pass
instead of asking a different question each time it shrinks the felt.

172 tests still passing; no console errors; contrast clean.
