Rewrote surfing class to make it more precise and extensible
Now uses same algorithm for prediction and movement
Bullet hits now use actual bullet heading (surprisingly I'm so used to targeting that I didn't realize this was possible!)
Improved bot width calculation and accounts for multiple tick exposure to waves at movement extremes
Now surfs in a true orbit around enemy, not around the wave origin
Shortened orbit radius to make better use of Holden's targeting advantage
Some bullet power tweaks to improve energy usage, especially during the endgame

RoboRumble - APS: 78.69% (41st), PL: 711-26 (23rd), Glicko-2: 2007.4, Survival: 87.09%
Now uses Gaff's latest anti-surfer gun.
Added rambot detection & avoidance
Tweaked lazy flattener to kick in only after two lost rounds; no longer decreases after a win.
Reduced preferred distance by 50
Switched from variable bullet powers to prefer 2.0

RoboRumble - APS: 77.21% (47th), PL: 711-26 (23rd), Glicko-2: 1983, Survival: 87.6%
Added a flattening scheme which basically logs low-valued hits to the segmented buffers. This kicks in when Holden loses a round, increases if he keeps losing and decreases if he starts to win. Simple but effective.

RoboRumble 1v1: 47th, 77.2% APS, 1713 ELO, 1984 Glicko2
Adjusted a few segments (more lateral velocity, less accel and wall distance).
Original version used bot width when calculating danger values; this one also uses width when storing hits.
Increased minimum distance.
