Solo: cope with pencil marks when tilesize == 1

Solo's layout calculations for pencil marks could fail with a tilesize
of 1, generating an assertion failure: "draw_number: Assertion `pbest
> 0' failed."  This was reported as Debian bug #905852.

My solution is slightly silly, namely to change a ">" in the test for
whether a new layout is the best so far to ">=".  This allows for
finding a (terrible) layout even for tilesize == 1, and also has the
side-effect of slightly preserring wide layouts over tall ones.
Personally, I think that's an improvement.
