We've split the Any% leaderboards (Mobile/Mac)

With @RockinJack18 's recent Gravity Lab run, there was a unanimous decision among all active mods to add a way to distinguish Any% runs achieved on Mac vs. runs achieved on mobile.

The reason we split the leaderboard is because it is possible to do multiple flap inputs per frame on Mac, which isn't possible on mobile. This difference in it of itself isn't enough to warrant such a change on the leaderboards, but RockinJack18's run showed us that Mac users can exploit this capability to use setups that are next to impossible on mobile.

As Flappy Golf 2 becomes more and more optimized, we can foresee Mac proving to be the superior platform for Any%. All of @PuzzleKing 's runs have been marked as having the Mac control style, which has resulted in his obtaining many uncontested records (when filtering by control style). RockinJack18, of course, holds the WR for Gravity Lab Any%

While technically Mac has an advantage over mobile in Gold% and Superstar% as well, we have not split the leaderboards there because we don't (yet?) have evidence that the advantage is significant enough to warrant a change in the leaderboards.

Happy flapping!

The above statement has been changed to reflect the decision to add a "Control Style" variable to the Any% leaderboards instead of separating Any% into two categories. This way, the fastest Any% run is shown on the Level Leaderboard, but there is a way to distinguish Mac runs from mobile runs.
