James Dansereau 4806799867 D245: fix IsWater view-tracking seam -- allow the D227 tc-shift safety valve on the water quad
The water quad's fan was the one skyPortBeginFan() caller passing
allowShift=FALSE, on the theory that a matched tc-shift on both texunits
would flatten the sinf()-driven cross-fade the effect depends on. That
theory was wrong: skyPortEmitTileShift() replays both tiles' SETTILE
commands with the identical k, rescaling both texunits' decoded S/T by
the same factor before each tile's own (unshifted) uls/ult offset is
applied by the RDP -- the offset between tile 0 and tile 1's sample
points is preserved, not flattened.

Confirmed with the GE_D227V probe on Frigate (-level_26): a water fan
vertex spans S=-166..299317, T=-6451..288410 in S10.5 units (same order
of magnitude as D227's pre-fix sky overflow), now correctly getting
kS=4 kT=4 instead of being forced to 0.

verify.sh frigate and "surface 2" (the two IsWater levels) both PASS
crash-free. Live playtest of the mouse-tracking seam itself still owed.
