My 20th is World Bee Day!

As usual, here's a little patch to celebrate with a couple of tweaks and some small content additions!

On the content front, we have 6 new vignettes, some new art for the Gone as quickly as they came event, and a new bee fact.

There are several new chat commands, including !buzz, !role, and !devs, and the !help chat command has been updated to optionally give more detailed information on each available command.

I've added a loading screen when starting a new game or loading an existing one, which replaces the previously blank cream coloured screen that I know made some players a little anxious when loading took longer than they expected.

For technical tweaks, the GLES2 fallback renderer has been re-enabled after it was disabled by accident along with an engine update at some point in the past (apologies to anybody on very old/low end hardware who was negatively affected!). I've also tweaked the default auto latency setting to reduce the likelihood of audio stutters on some systems.

Enjoy!
