Remove the button button to buy a research, a double tap on a research should buy it instead.

Done in baac11a, live at https://metaheavens.de/spaceship/

The buy button is gone from the panel; tapping a node twice buys it.

Deliberately "the same node twice" rather than a timed double-tap: there is no window to miss on a slow phone, no accidental purchase from a fast double-tap while browsing, and the first tap always does something visible - it selects, and the panel fills in with the cost and what it unlocks - so the second tap is never a blind commitment.

The status line now reads "Tap again to research" when a node is affordable. With the button gone that line is the only thing distinguishing an affordable node from an unaffordable one.
