audit: sweep Game Development, split into use cases, drop py-sdl2, pyopengl

Browse Source 
Restructure: the flat section splits into 3D Engines (panda3d
189.3K/mo, sole obvious choice), Game Frameworks (pygame 3.07M/mo and
pyglet 2.9M/mo obvious choices; arcade 85.3K/mo challenger — pygame-ce
joins as a challenger in its own addition commit), and Visual Novels
(renpy sole obvious choice — its 4/mo pip count is meaningless since
Ren'Py ships as its own SDK; ecosystem verified: 8,000+ published
works, release 8.5.3 in 2026-05).

Removed:
- py-sdl2 — 71.1K downloads/month (as PySDL2), 344 stars; low-level
  SDL bindings whose job pygame-ce and pyglet cover for this list's
  audience. Judgment call.
- pyopengl — 5.3M downloads/month, likely transitive
  scientific-visualization traffic (judgment call, mechanism
  unverified), 415 stars; raw OpenGL bindings are not a
  game-development obvious choice.
