Matt Dallmeyer 697337166d [jak1] Patch autosave/progress lock in speedrun mode (#4340)
We already skip the "first autosave warning" prompt in speedrunner mode,
this just moves the check up a bit earlier, where it feels more
appropriate imo.

This also prevents a potential softlock from occurring in speedrunner
mode only, if you manage to bring up the progress menu while the first
autosave occurs/finishes (e.g. by pause buffering 7th scout fly, or one
of the citadel sage cells).

In that scenario, the `auto-save` process gets stuck in `done` state in
this loop because `progress-allowed?` is false due to the pending
powercell cutscene, and so we keep resetting `state-time`:

(in normal circumstances, this prevents the autosave prompt from popping
up during and shortly after the cell cutscene)

The problem is that the `progress` code has a sort of mirrored check,
where it will only `enter!` the next state if there is no `auto-save`
process:

Here's an example of the locked progress screen, I run some code in the
REPL to show the game is still running, and then use a breakpoint and
continue to artificially get past the `time-elapsed?` check in the
`auto-save` code
