Fix the misleading game-over hint text #19

Description

@InauguralPhysicist

The game-over screen's hint reads M to call mate E to edit/evolve (tidepool.eigs:430), but that screen only handles Esc → menu (tidepool.eigs:862) and Enter → play again (:865). M and E do nothing there, so the hint is misleading.

Fix: change the hint text at tidepool.eigs:430 to reflect the real controls, e.g. Enter: play again Esc: menu.

Acceptance: the game-over overlay shows accurate keys; make lint clean, make test green (visual check: make run, die, confirm).

Small, self-contained, no game-logic risk. New here? See CONTRIBUTING.md and CLAUDE.md.
