Warn when the upcoming boss will silence the joker on sale

Browse Source 
Five bosses debuff a whole card class for the fight (game.lua P_BLINDS,
applied in Blind:debuff_card blind.lua:708): The Club/Goad/Head/Window
kill a suit, The Plant kills faces. A debuffed card scores nothing and
triggers nothing, so a shop joker wanting that class is a dead ante --
and one GIVING it is worse: Pareidolia under The Plant converts the
whole deck into debuffed faces, so givers warn too. JCA.upcoming_boss
reads G.GAME.round_resets and goes quiet once the boss is defeated.
Warning-only, never a score change, kept in learning mode.
