Enable "fast-forward" play #4

Love the app, thanks for making it!

The only time I'm not having fun with it is when I'm on the bar and the AI has positions 1-6 all blocked, making re-entry impossible, but I still need to roll the dice, be told I have no legal moves, watch the AI roll, watch the AI move, and repeat. I wish there was a "fast-forward" option, like greedy bear-off, that just ran the rolls and moves instantly and presented me with the end-result. It'll likely be a situation I don't like, but at least I won't have had to spend 30-60s getting to it. Similarly, I wish there was a way to say "just roll automatically without giving me a chance to double" when things get bad enough. Basically let me spend as little wall-time as possible having to face the results of my own bad moves^W^W^Wbad luck ;)

Thanks a lot @fischman for playing backgammon on our app and for the tons of useful feedback you gave us in this github issues! we’re currently in the middle on a maintenance iteration, but we understand how much frustrating can be looking at the AI playing alone. This issue (labeled as enhancement) is now into our roadmap, and we’ll pick it up during the upcoming iteration.
