Implements the first slice of #230: death as a running gag rather than a fail state.

liuverse-sim::mortality judges hard landings (surface-dependent, with grass and water as reprieves) and hits from vehicles with enough heft. Buses, cars and mopeds kill at speed; bicycles, scooters and boards only shove.
The local body keeps its splat pose while a card names the epitaph, then respawns at the last safe ground with a short shield and the existing teleport beam.
ClientMsg::Died and ServerMsg::Death are append-only wire additions. The server resolves the driver, frees the victim's seat and broadcasts the wording, so clients cannot invent epitaphs.
Everyone else's deaths get a short fading line in the top-right feed; the victim gets the big card. Chat and the single notice slot are untouched.
Vehicle kinds gain a heft spec field; the selected tuning keeps death rare.

Not in this slice: death cam, ragdoll flops, chalk outlines, death bingo, the sound sting, and corpse interaction. Those can follow once the core joke feels right.

(slop) give the campus a sense of mortality 3e8775cf97

Falls and heavy vehicles can kill; the body lies for a beat, gets a card, and respawns at its last safe ground. Online the server names the driver, frees the seat and broadcasts one epitaph.
