Change winThreshold to integer sheep count, surface it in HUD

winThreshold was a 0–1 fraction; it's now an explicit count (≤ sheepCount),
which is less ambiguous and easier to reason about when designing levels.
All 10 levels converted to preserve existing difficulty.

The HUD counter now shows "inPen / winThreshold" so players can see the
goal directly. On levels where the threshold is below the total flock,
a dim "(N total)" note appears so the slack is visible.

Pen fill progress now ramps to full-green at the win count rather than
at total flock size.
