BJ Bridge SAYC Beginner

BriJ now supports the optional use of Dark Mode as introduced in the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS.
There are also several cosmetic changes to improve appearance in, for example, the icon bar, bidding box and options screens. The card table is enlarged to suit tall iPhones.
Fixes: removes spurious underlines on scoresheet; eliminates a problem with unresponsive BridgeWebs “download as pbn” (for iPad in landscape mode). avoids freezes when relaunching BriJ from a background state

BriJ now works more consistently with the most recently released iPhones and iPads as well as the latest iOS and iPadOS 13.3 operating systems. For example, the ‘options’ screens are easier to use and the BriJ screens make better use of the available space on the latest iPhones. Some minor improvements.

. The target number of tricks (shown in results for player BriJ1) is now always achievable by following the robot play suggestions
. Splinter bids are now observed after partner has responded to an opening bid with a suit bid and the opener is rebidding
. Discard suit choices are improved, keeping guards as well as potential winning cards
