Debriefs

Allow DOUBLE_DROP to be playable on the first turn if both discs are in the same column and that column has space for two. This adds early-game agency.

Clarify that COLUMN_LOCK prevents the opponent from using POP_OUT on the locked column, not just dropping. This is implied by 'no drop and no pop out there' but could be explicit.
