Keep the auto-run's target where the player is allowed to stand

Oliver's v369 log ("vieeel besser") showed two misses with the auto-run
heading to x 6.5 and 8.7, far outside the frame he is held in. Since the
dip ends at the bounce, a hard cross-court topspin ball drifts sideways
long enough that its comfort point lies off the court; intercept had no
lateral bound, and its last-resort target was never checked at all
(headless: x 14.8). Candidates now respect xLimit — a kicking ball is
taken earlier, on the rise — and the final target is clamped. v370.
