Fix atmosphere particles clustering on left side of screen

Browse Source 
When wind is zero or near-zero, dust particles were always spawning at
the left viewport edge (the "upwind" edge for wind >= 0). Without wind
force to carry them across, they accumulated on the left side. Now
particles spawn across the full viewport when wind is calm (< 5 px/s²),
with random drift directions for even distribution.

Closes #2
