## Description:
This PR implements a major refactoring of how map data is stored and
loaded, as described in #1242. Previously, map data (`.bin` files) was
bundled directly into the client-side JavaScript by Webpack using
`binary-loader`. This approach led to data duplication and increased
bundle/image sizes.
This refactoring changes the strategy entirely:
- `GameMapLoader` interface has been introduced to decouple the map
loading mechanism from the components that use it.
- New `FetchGameMapLoader` implementation loads map data by fetching it
from static server endpoint.
- Webpack configuration and `Dockerfile` have been updated to serve the
map files as static assets and to remove the source `resources/maps`
directory from the final image, thus eliminating data duplication.
This leads to several key improvements:
- Docker image size is reduced from ~750 MB to ~600 MB.
- Build time is decreased. On my local machine, the docker image build
time went from 48s to 43s.
Most of this speed-up comes from faster Webpack builds (reduced from 16s
to 11s), as it no longer needs to process large binary files. This
performance gain will be noticeable for all developers during local
development, not just in the CI workflow.

## Description:
Move map generation outside of main repo, it has been rewritten in Go
and is much faster. Also refactor how maps are stored, one dir per map.
The map binaries are basically identical to before. Some maps like
Africa have 1% difference in bytes, but playing it looks exactly the
same.
Use lazy loading for map data access so only needed files are accessed.
Unit tests now load map binary instead of regenerating it from scratch,
speeding them up.

## Description:
Improve type safety and runtime correctness by:
1. Enabling TypeScript's
[strictNullChecks](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#strictNullChecks)
compiler option.
2. Replacing all loose equality operators (`==` and `!=`) with strict
equality operators (`===` and `!==`).
3. Cleaning up of type declarations, null handling logic, and equality
expressions throughout the project.
Currently, the code allows implicit assumptions that `null` and
`undefined` are interchangeable, and relies on type-coercing equality
checks that can introduce subtle bugs. These practices make it difficult
to reason about when values may be absent and hinder the effectiveness
of static analysis.
Migrating to strict null checks and enforcing strict equality
comparisons will clarify intent, reduce bugs, and make the codebase
safer and easier to maintain.
Fixes#466
