[758] More whistle warping madness

The palette change and "whistle shrine" bugs are fixed. Great job on those.

...But, I found more whistle bugs while testing the latter bug fix in 758 with my 2.10 quest.

1) If you play the whistle such that Link can't walk any farther south without the screen scrolling, the game will freeze when the duck/whirlwind reaches the end of the screen with Link inside. You can continue with F6, however.

2) If you play the whistle such that Link can't walk any farther north without the screen scrolling (and Link is picked up), the screen will scroll up to the whistle destination instead of to the right. Similarly, the duck/whirlwind will move from south to north (instead of west to east) and drop Link off.

Hang on. Your 2.10 quest doesn't have the "Can Use Items on Edge of Screen" rule checked, so how can you use the whistle in those places?

You can always use all items when facing parallel to the edge of the screen. Therefore, you can play the whistle on the north or south border by facing to the left or to the right.
