This problem is not related to the number of players, 
but occurs if only one bid has been placed on the
final private company, and no further player action
is needed to complete buying that private.

I recently removed a case of duplicate execution of 
some code in that area, but that removal has had this
adverse effect. The whole private auction process 
turned out to be insufficiently adapted to a code 
restructuring quite a long time ago.

I have fixed it, and the structure now looks better too.

More changes of today:

- Fixed 18Kaas, which would not load because the private
company specifications missed a mandatory attribute,
added in the past.

- Implemented Feature request #2906917: Display hex coordinates
The maps now show grid coordinates at all sides of the map.
It was implemented a bit quick and dirty, it's not perfect
and not entirely scalable yet, but I hope it will do for now.

- Implemented Feature Request #2904703: Display cost of trains
A line has been added below the available trains in GameStatus,
specifying the cost of all trains. This display is fixed and 
will not shorten during the game.

In a game like 1835 the cost string grows pretty long, 
considerably widening the whole window. We should probably split 
the string over two lines in such cases.

- FR #2904695: Add merger tokens in 18EU to Report Window
This had in fact already been done in one of yesterday's fixes.
