    xtrn: mark the SyncConquer doors graphics-required, not text-playable

    The prior commit lumped syncalert/syncdawn in with the framebuffer doors
    that have a usable text tier, but Command & Conquer is not actually
    playable as block characters -- an RTS needs the real picture to read
    units and terrain. The intent is for these doors to reject a text-only
    terminal outright, the way SyncSCUMM already does. Put their descs back
    to "Requires a sixel-capable graphics terminal (e.g. SyncTERM); mouse supported."

    syncdoom, syncduke, and the SyncRetro consoles keep the text-tier wording
    -- those genuinely play as block glyphs on an ANSI/CP437/UTF-8 terminal.

    Config text only.
