## Description:
Multiple people in the game-feedback dc channel are complaining that
nations are too strong. To make the FFAs feel more like `PvP` instead of
`PvPvE`, switch to the easy difficulty.
Unlike humans, the easy nations cannot execute parallel bot attacks at
all, making them expand much slower.
Also their `maxTroops`, `troopIncreaseRate` and `startManpower` configs
are lower than the human ones.
They are easier to ally, etc...
And I have some dumbing-down ideas ready.
**Proposal:** We could introduce "modifiers" to public games in the
future: Higher difficulty nations (for people who like PvPvE), random
spawn, compact map, MIRVs disabled, ...

The map doesn't cover all of Pluto, because we simply don't have the
data about the other side. Instead this map covers most of the mapped
area which has high quality height data.

Task: #1075 Enable typescript strict mode
First (out of many) PR in order to enable typescript Strict mode in the
project.
This PR fixes all type issues present under the `/server` path.
## Specifics
Most changes are just basic type fixes, however here are some further
explanation for some of the more complex changes:
1. `PatternDecoder.ts` used to accept `Uint8Array` as an input, however
this was never used, so to simplify the typing and avoid casting in
various places, I just removed support for it.
2. `MapPlaylist.ts` has a `frequency` object with map names, used to
specify how often each map should appear in the playlist. However this
list is not in sync with the actual map list, so some maps were missing
from that list. I fixed that while adding stronger typing for the
future. Also removed an un-necessary call to `parseInt`.

## 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.
