Stop auto-assigning the Captain when a ship is stolen

Completing Crew Objective 1 (Steal a Ship) no longer anoints the
highest-ranked Pi-Rat as Captain (nor vacates the seat when the ship is
lost). Captaincy is now earned: the crew chooses one via the Captaincy
UI / set_captain and Crew Objective 2. Decoupled captaincy from crew_1
in toggle_objective, dropped the now-unused random import, and updated
test_captaincy_and_hand_sizes accordingly.
