Keen Modding Live - Dreams patched

Today, armed with the relative-patch-enabled version of KDRPATCH, I made a patch that makes Keen Dreams reset all stats to their "new game" values when running the complete level code. Since I changed the death action to be the same as the level completion action, the reset happens either way a level is restarted. The call to the stats initialization routine ($03C00003RL) replaces the call that plays the level completion sound, since it would be strange to play that on death. I also changed the default lives to be zero, since there is no concept of extra Keens in live games - the player gets infinite fresh starts. This should be sufficient patching for Keen Dreams. I'll probably get it up as a usable episode tomorrow.
