How was this game even *built*, originally, if it uses *both* a common
shared set of library functions *and* obviously copy-pasted and
separately compiled versions of some of these functions?

Wow, this is the first time we're about to call any of these from C
land in ≥TH03? Found no built-in way to just uppercase an identifier
in TASM, so apparently we have to spell out the names in both lower-
and uppercase.
So, let's go back to regular, non-macro PUBLIC / PROC / ENDP code
wherever we can – for all functions introduced in ≥TH03, and for
everything that takes no parameters. It's simply not worth the
trouble.

Leading to slight complications in TH02's Music Room and shot type
selection menus. Thought about leaving those in C for a while, but I
still think it's worth it for the consistency we get with the VRAM
offset functions. Also, we'll have similar code for the main menus of
later games, and I'll surely won't be using C++ when starting out with
these.

Oh hey, guarding declarations with complicated types via #ifdef limits
the header files we additionally have to #include!

That should make this convoluted copypasta a bit easier to read. And
sure, I could have done something about the loop as well, but
SHOT_FUNC_INIT already hides enough control flow behind a macro…
