54119: Player Death
Used by the routine at PlayerDeath_TapeLoadContinue.
Handles a lost life and game-over flow: optional HUD and "PLAYER" messaging, decrementing Lives, calling 53836 to re-stage the wave, swapping players with SwapPlayerState, printing "GAME OVER" when no lives remain, and either returning to the attract mode at GameEntryPoint or looping. A lookup table at 54244 (read from 54272) supplies a start pointer stored at WaveStartPointer; 60667 jumps to PlayerDeath_TapeLoadContinue after a successful tape load. Clears player state at Player_1_State, wave and score fields, and applies Messaging_ResetMargins (reset margins) when starting a fresh game.
