B4CC: Start the chase
This starts the animation to put the cherry light on the roof of the hero car, enables flashing lights and the smash bar, shows the "SIGHTING OF..." message and starts the siren.
It also resets the hand animation's step and delay and sets hand_flag to make it run, resets the time limit to 15 sixteenths, a BCD 60 seconds, and toggles the marquee's left light.
Used by the routine at perp_behaviour.
