    xtrn: don't claim sixel is required for the doors with a text tier

    The previous desc pass overclaimed: it said "Requires a sixel-capable
    graphics terminal" for every graphics door, but only the pixel-art adventure/strategy titles actually have no text fallback. The framebuffer
    doors render a character/block tier (half/quadrant/sextant glyphs in ANSI color) and are playable on a plain ANSI/CP437/UTF-8 terminal -- exactly
    the distinction the SyncSCUMM README already draws ("Unlike the
    framebuffer action doors (SyncDOOM, SyncRetro), SyncSCUMM has no
    text/ANSI fallback tier").

    Correct the seven that have a text tier -- syncdoom, syncduke, the
    SyncRetro consoles (syncivision, syncnes, syncarcade), and the Command & Conquer doors (syncalert, syncdawn) -- to "Best on a sixel/JPEG-XL
    graphics terminal (e.g. SyncTERM), also playable on any ANSI/CP437/UTF-8 terminal via block characters", keeping each one's mouse note.

    Left as graphics-required (verified against their READMEs -- these render pixels only, no text present path): the seven ScummVM adventures (syncbass/queen/lure/drascula/spacequest0/cascadequest/betrayedalliance), yumenikki (SyncRPG), and syncmoo1 ("renders sixel only... a terminal
    without sixel gets no picture").

    Config text only.
