Dynamic power & angle control #75

Sometimes it takes quite a long time to adjust the power. I suggest that when player constantly holds the same direction of the joystick, the power change interval increases, i.e. that it jumps first by 1, then by 2, 3, etc. Similarly, such a modification of the controls can be introduced when rotating the barrel (for consistency).

Seems similar to #54

Angle fix when #87 done.

How it works - when you press joystick up (down) it is adding 1, but when you hold for 1/2s it starts adding 10. After 2.5s it returns to adding 1 again, because this was easier and you are in the top force levels anyway. Timings should be the same in PAL and NTSC machines.
