UI feature: add Turn Clock #27

What: Add a "Turn Clock" to the lower left. The red arrow rotates clockwise and points to the current player's turn.

Bonus: outline each donut-segment with yellow (to make it extra clear whose turn it is now, red arrow points to it, and it's outlined with a yellow highlight).

Why: Makes it easier to see 1) whose turn it is, and 2) what will happen next, and 3) the overall flow of the turns.

Mockup:

Turn Clock could probably fit in lower-left. SVG mockup also attached (created in Inkscape so you can edit easily in Inkscape if you want). TurnClock.svg.zip

Done (without words since to me it seemed intuitive enough). Can always be enhanced later.
