Release note: none

Part of #841. The MP44 (StG) kill-feed icon's magazine is cut off at the bottom of its rect. The gun sits at Valve's width with its barrel on Valve's line, and its real magazine is 7 stock rows longer than the rect leaves room for, so cut_below cuts it flat at the edge. This PR adds a table field so that either fix is one line in ICONS. The user picks a or b. Until then the table is unchanged and the output stays VERSION 13.

• Option a, shorter magazine: the existing cut_part. d_mp44: barrel_top=7, cut_below=True, cut_part=(45, 60, 19). Same size, the magazine ends 4 rows above the edge, and the outline goes round the cut.
• Option b, the whole gun smaller: new Icon.shrink_below. d_mp44: barrel_top=7, shrink_below=True. The barrel stays on its row and the gun shrinks until the full curved magazine fits: 71% of today's size. (place_barrel(..., shrink=True).)

When the pick is made, set the line, bump VERSION to 14, and repaint POST.

Review sheets (scale 2.5, dark and in-game backgrounds, with 3x zooms): local\review-images\841\stg-fit\ (0_now.png, option_a_shorter_magazine.png, option_b_whole_gun_smaller.png, mp40_options.png, README.md).

Other icons that run past their rect (all 35 checked)

• MP40: magazine 8 rows past the bottom, cut the same way. Proposal: leave it, since it already reads as a short magazine and b would make it 67% size. cut_part=(57, 68, 19) if it should match option a.
• 30cal: bipod 7 rows past the bottom, which the user's earlier review chose. Leave it.
• britgrenade, greasegun, enfield, garand, piat: 1 texel at 4x into the outline margin. Can't be seen.

Decisions

• No table entry changed and VERSION not bumped, so nothing changes until the user picks. Nothing installed in POST.
• Option b keeps the barrel on Valve's line rather than raising it. The existing raise-to-fit behaviour (cut_below=False, 80% size, barrel at the top of the rect) is shown as b2 on the sheet for comparison.
• shrink_below wins over cut_below when both are set.

Test done

• python -m unittest test_killfeed_icons: 57 tests OK, including the new place_barrel shrink test and a "no icon shrinks by default" test.
• Offline renders of all 35 icons from POST's models, plus the MP44 at cut rows 15/17/19/21, shrink and b2, and the MP40 and 30cal variants. The clip report compares each model's whole silhouette at its final fit with the rect.
• Not seen in game: neither option is painted on POST.

On hold: superseded by #1022's R2 (26-row boxes, nothing cut), which the user picked over cutting the MP44/MP40/30cal/Thompson magazines. Close this PR once #1022's build PR is open.

Closed: superseded by #1023 (#1022's even layout, picked over cutting the magazines).
