Custom intros don't work

Admittedly this one is hard to test because there's only one mod I know of that has a custom intro but doesn't come bundled with a specific eduke version, and that's Duke Hard.

Introduced by r7797-ad85f45f / svn7804.

Keep on playing. Keep on reporting.

More than happy to. Whatever it takes to get Duke 3D up and running full blast.

This happens because Dukehard tries to set ud.m_volume_number to 3 to trigger the episode 4 intro, even though episode 1 is selected.

Since r7797 this is set back to 0 before the cutscene can trigger because m_volume_number was exposed to the menu to detect which episode is currently selected.

So it's not really a bug but a result of the mod exploiting implementation details to hack in an intro.
For a more robust cutscene implementation, Dukehard could be updated to use the following: https://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Cutscene_(DEF)
