Please don't yeet the Tonttu

Another Stockroom Syndrome demo update!

I've been making the mannequins a little less relentless and considerably less predictable. They can now randomly become inactive during the night, and mannequins you've knocked over may decide to stay down for anywhere between a second and half a minute before getting back up.

So naturally, while making the enemies slightly less stressful, I also added the ability to pick up the Tonttu and throw him across the shop.

He does not appreciate this.

He now screams while airborne and makes suitably unhappy noises when he hits things. He will also retreat for 30 seconds and hide, cowering, the poor little blighter, giving you some breathing room.

I've also added three new television-based hauntings, swapped the creepy title-screen music for bossa nova, and fixed a couple of audio and UI bugs.
