[WIP] Increase variant tourney frequency
- For the four most popular variants, make hourlys constant.
The time controls are adjusted to each variant
- Atomic and Antichess tend to be played faster, so give them more bullet
- In contrast, chess960 isn't played as fast
- In contrast, zh isn't played as fast, and, additionally, game length is hard to predict, so keep zhInc function as is, so to maintain high freq of zh tourneys with at least +1 inc.
-
Add back zh elite tourney. The zh team elite tourneys are too hard to find.
-
Adjust tourney UI to group the popular variants in their own lanes.
Fixes #15861
suggestion: replace the 02:30 (1+0) zh 30 min arena with a 30 min (2+1) arena to avoid repetitive (1+0) bullet zh arenas?

I agree with the idea, but instead of replacing 1+0 with 2+1, it can be replaced with 1+1 (like bullet U2000, U1700 etc arenas) or something with less initial time; in order to make the time control as close to 1+0 as possible.
I'll replace all top hour variant bullet tourneys with 1+1. So first it will be 1+1, then 1+0.
This is a draft FYI, more adjustments to come. The zh increment schedule is screwed up in the screenshot as well.
