Caption Sequence jacks as WILD or REMOVE

A jack's power is carried by its artwork on a real deck — drawn in profile it shows one eye and removes a chip, drawn face-on it shows two and is wild. These cards render as rank and suit only, so J♦ and J♠ were indistinguishable in hand despite doing opposite things. Jacks in hand now carry the word on their face, and the hint under the hand says what tapping will do rather than the generic "tap a highlighted square", which was wrong for a one-eyed jack anyway — those target an opponent's chip, not a highlighted empty square. The caption is a general PlayingCardView option, so any later game whose cards carry meaning beyond rank and suit can use it.
