        basesrc/games/atc: Makefile extern.h input.c log.c main.c struct.h

Log Message:
The patch below improves the security of the game atc(6), by having it
open the score file at the start and then drop all setgid privileges
while keeping a (close-on-exec) file descriptor open to it.  In order
to allow this the static data files have to be made world readable.
In addition a potential buffer overrun with corrupted score files is
avoided by more careful use of scanf (note that SCORE_SCANF_FMT is
defined alongside the definition of the relevant structure).
