## Description:
The server stores all players that have joined, and once the game starts
it sends a list of players to all clients. Players cannot join after the
game has started. Server now generated the PlayerID instead of the
client.
The is necessary for team mode, we need to know how who is playing the
game before it starts so we can properly assign teams based on clans.

changed the sam cooldown to be a general cooldown function and added a
missilesilo cooldown
The function either adds the current tick as the starting point of the
cooldown or sets the cooldown to null and updates the unit. That way
getcooldown function can be used to get back the tick the cooldown was
started and can be compared to the cooldown set in the config.
changed the sam test / added a missilesilo test

Tried to implement feature to outline player under mouse cursor.
Intention is to improve gameplay and provide a way to estimate players
territories for strategic planning / avoid attacking wrong players with
confusingly similar colors.
When you stop cursor at the player - his borders will be drawn in white
color.
To focus on other player - click or move cursor to other player.
To hide outline - click on empty space (water, land).
"Focus" UI feature also triggers outline for the target player (easier
to see who exactly is that you are looking at).
Done via getting player under mouse cursor, setting it as global
focusedPlayer and painting borders in white color.
Tried to maintain minimal changes and utilize existing rendering queue.
Also added hover delays to avoid excessive redraws and provide better
experience. Redraws only happens when focusedPlayer changes - one time
for old focused player to clean outline and one time for new focused
player.
added a unitgrid instead of a defensepostgrid for all units to be able
to see if a tile is inside the range of a unit by a custom distance
this is used for the sam launcher to draw a circle around the area it
protects
removed all parts that use the defensepostgrid and made it use the
unitgrid instead
Updated structure icon border rendering to improve legibility, I often
find that I miss important enemy structures like SAM launchers as they
share a similar icon to many other structures.
Supported shapes:
- Square (SAM, Missile)
- Round (City, Port)
- Hexagon (Defense post)
- Diamond (not used, square rotated 45deg)
There's a bug that when using translators in your browser it shows
troops/gold/... as `NaN`, I couldn't get a translator to work to
confirm, but this should work
create endpoint to load archived game. when joining game client first
checks if the game is active, if not it requests the game archive from
the server. the archive is sent to LocalServer to replay the game
locally. Every 10 ticks a hash is stored on the archive, and during
replay the LocalServer verifies this hash.
