New feature: HACK mode

When bosses die and fall apart into symbols, hidden code words can appear in the battle background.

Open HACK mode, find a code word, decode it with the current filter, and run a patch.

Patches are useful combat effects: they can delay enemies, restore resources, reduce PING, aim all heroes, or bend the battle rules in unexpected ways.
