    syncscumm: US spelling in the mouse mapper's comments

    Two doc comments ported into sst_mouse_report() carried British "centre"/"CENTRES" from syncconquer's source; the repo convention is US English. Comment-only, no code or behavior change.

    syncscumm: capture door stderr behind a touch-file gate

    On a BBS-launched door the process's stderr is dead, so ScummVM's own diagnostics -- including the fatal error() an engine prints just before
    it aborts -- are recorded nowhere. That is what made the Cascade Quest Sound->Volume crash hard to pin down before the release-mode fix.

    Wire up sst_plat_redirect_stderr() (added with the Win32 build but not previously called) behind a touch-file gate, matching the existing
    trace and wirecap gates: create <data-dir>/syncscumm/stderr (SBBSDATA
    for a real door; ./syncscumm-stderr in a dev/standalone run) and stderr
    is redirected to /tmp/syncscumm.<pid>.stderr. Off by default -- absent
    the touch-file it opens nothing. It sits before resolve_fd()'s headless early-return so a boot test can arm it too.

    Going through the sst_plat abstraction keeps the platform #ifdef out of sst_io.c.
