tweak: reduce Mini Motorways difficulty and slow pacing 

- Increase week duration (55s → 70s) and delay color unlocks
- Lower house/building caps (30→20, 12→8) and slow car speed (3.0→2.5)
- Increase house/building spawn intervals and slow pin accumulation
- Start with 1 color instead of 2 for a gentler learning curve
