reverted order of processing game modes for global animations clicks
The assumptions that led to the change that is reverted here were
simply wrong: When drawing global animations in a certain order,
checking for mouse clicks must be done in reverse order, to ensure
that the click is processed for the topmost global animation. This
includes processing game modes in reverse order (which are handled
in normal order when drawing global animations).
Processing clicks for a global animation based custom mouse pointer
should be handled separately anyway, to process it independently

be processed first, which is especially important to process pointer

fixed bug with loading artwork if only one special artwork set exists

graphics sets or "default" and "lowpass" sound sets, which can be

artwork sets are defined (and also if no special artwork is defined).
However, it did not work correctly if only one special artwork set was
defined, in addition to the "standard" artwork set, like this:
graphics_set: gfx_bond_mine_01
graphics_set.aga: gfx_bond_mine_01.aga
In this case, it was not possible to use the "standard" graphics set,
but only the "AGA" graphics set (because the "standard" graphics set
was internally overridden by the "AGA" graphics set when selecting to
use "AGA" graphics in the game engines setup menu, and selecting to
use "ECS" graphics later could not recover this). (This bug could be
seen in level set "emc_bond_mine_01" when starting the game with "AGA"
graphics preferred in the setup menu, which resulted in not being able
to select the "standard" graphics by setting graphics preference to
"ECS" in the game engines setup menu.)

is not explicitly defined, to the "standard" artwork before internally

fixed CE condition that checks touching the player at some side
In the level editor on the "change" tab of a custom element, when
using the CE condition "[x] element changes ..." in combination with
"[x][touching] element [<element>]" with "at [<side>] side", there
was wrong behaviour in some cases when "<element>" was the player.
This was caused by not checking the side of the player (that was being
touched by the custom element), but by checking the side of the custom
element (touching the player), which is the exact opposite side here.
This change fixes the bug, now always checking the correct side as it
is configured in the level editor. (Regarding to the game engine test
suite, this functional game engine change did not break any tapes.)

fixed bug with forced restart of global animations when restarting game
This fixes a bug which occured if the game was restarted (by loading a
tape during the game, or by playing again after a game was lost) and
if a custom artwork set was active that used cross-fading for the game
screen. In this case, global animations displayed during the game were
stopped, but not restarted again,
