Remove entering of number of darts before checkout when playing with Smartboard #110

When we play with the smartboard we are prompted to enter how many darts that are thrown when checking out. The purpose is to ensure that the correct number of darts thrown is registered in order to get correct average stats. However, stats for games scored using the smartboard are regardless not 100% precise, as misses isn't correctly registered, which affects checkout percentage.

This is a subjective request, but after one season with experience, I've come to the opinion that the increased precision in stats doesn't outweigh the inconvenience of having to enter the number of darts. It removes flow between legs, and takes away the immediate happy feedback kcapp gives when a leg is won.

If possible, I'd simply remove this dialog, and if for example the player threw 16 - MISS - D8 I'd still score it as just 16 - D8 (two darts).

There is one important thing though, I'd like the next leg (or match stat screen in case of match won) to have a information notice that is visible until the first dart of the next leg is thrown, on how to easily delete the last visit, in case there's a wrongly registered leg winning dart, so we quickly go back to the last state and can correct mistakes by the smartboard (that can be convenient for regular matches as well).
