feat(engine): drop shadows on cards with lifted state during drag

Cards previously read as flat stickers on the felt — no separation
cue, no sense the play surface had any depth. Each CardEntity now
spawns a CardShadow child sprite: neutral black at 25 % alpha, sized
to card_size + 4 px halo, offset (2, -3) and rendered at local z
-0.05 so it sits behind its card.

Cards in the active drag set switch to a lifted shadow: alpha 40 %,
offset (4, -6), padding (8, 8). update_card_shadows_on_drag runs
every Update and snaps each shadow to the right state based on
DragState membership — no lerp, no animation cost. The pure
card_shadow_params(is_dragged) helper is unit-tested for the four
parameter values.

resize_cards_in_place gains a third query for shadows so the
in-place resize keeps shadows cheap (no Sprite regeneration); the
shadow's current alpha is read to preserve idle vs lifted padding
across a resize. update_card_entity's despawn_related call is
followed by a fresh add_card_shadow_child so the shadow re-attaches
when the card is repainted (face flip, settings change, theme
swap). The pre-existing bulk drag-shadow under the whole lifted
stack is untouched — per-card shadows complement it.

All shadow values flow through eight new ui_theme tokens
(CARD_SHADOW_COLOR, alphas, offsets, paddings, local z) so the
visual is tunable in one place. Color is neutral black so the
shadows don't conflict with color-blind mode's red/blue suit tints.

Four new tests pin the contract: shadow params for idle and drag
states, every CardEntity spawns with exactly one CardShadow child,
and dragging shifts only the dragged shadow's offset while leaving
unrelated shadows on the idle offset.
