9AE9: Place Flame
Used by the routine at SpawnFlame.
Chooses a position for a new flame. Depending on bit 0 of the counter at GameTimer the flame is either placed in the same column as the player (with a position from the frame counter for its row, see ChoosePosition_SetY) or in the same row as the player (see PlaceFlame_InRow). It then finishes by checking the position, see ChoosePosition_Test.
