Add nine games: Go Fish, Old Maid, Cribbage, Scopa, Casino,

Browse source 
Euchre, Pitch, Briscola, and Spite & Malice

Five new files, each reusing or extending an existing engine.

* cg-match.el: Go Fish and Old Maid, matching games on a shared
  helper set (completes the original wishlist).
* cg-cribbage.el: two-handed Cribbage to 121 -- the crib, the cut,
  pegging, and a full show scorer (fifteens, pairs, runs, flush, nobs).
* cg-scopa.el: a capture-by-sum engine driving Scopa (40-card, sette
  bello, primiera, scopas) and Casino (pairs and sums, big/little
  casino, aces, sweeps). Casino omits builds.
* cg-trick-ext.el: Euchre (24-card with both bowers), Auction Pitch
  (bid, pitch sets trump, High/Low/Jack/Game), and Briscola (fixed
  trump, no follow), as subclasses of the cg-trick engine.
* cg-spite.el: Spite & Malice, a competitive patience to empty the
  goal pile onto shared Ace-to-Queen centre piles; Kings are wild.

Wire all nine commands into the card-game chooser, extend the Makefile
EL list, and add README sections. Add ten ERT tests covering each
game's engine and a full AI-driven game; the suite is now 107/107 and
every file byte-compiles cleanly.

New files at Version 1.0.60 to match the tree; post-1.0.60 work
toward 1.0.90.

;;; Commentary:
;; Three more trick-taking games built on the engine in cg-trick.el, each
;; a four-handed game against three AI opponents (you are South).
;;
;; `cg-euchre' -- Euchre. A 24-card deck, the Jack of trump (right
;; bower) and its same-colour Jack (left bower) outranking everything;
;; order up or call trump, then take three tricks. Partnership to 10.
;; `cg-pitch' -- Auction Pitch (All Fours). Bid for the privilege of
;; pitching; the first card led sets trump. Score High, Low, Jack and
;; Game. First to 7.
;; `cg-briscola' -- Briscola. A 40-card deck, a fixed trump turned from
;; the deal, and no need to follow suit; capture the Aces and Threes.
;; Partnership race to 61 of the 120 points.
;;
;; Cards use the package cons (SUIT . RANK), RANK 0 (Two) .. 12 (Ace) as
;; in cg-trick.el.
