## Description:
I hope we can get this into v30?
The nation count is configurable now, just like the bot count.
Replaced the "Disable Nations" toggle with a nations slider (0–400) in
SinglePlayer and Host Lobby modals.

Public games are staying exactly the same, this is just for singleplayer
and private lobby fun.
Youtubers could play HvN against 400 nations, for example.
Singleplayer enjoyers no longer have to play against 1 nation in HvN,
they can freely choose.
`GameConfig.disableNations: boolean` got replaced by `nations: number
(0-400, optional)`
`undefined` = map default,
`0` = disabled,
number = custom count
Nations slider defaults to the map's nation count, shows "(MAP DEFAULT)"
label when unchanged
Compact map toggle reduces nations to 25% when at default, restores when
toggled off (just like we already do with bots)
The nation count for HvN no longer automatically matches the human count
in singleplayer and private games, only in public games.
**What if there aren't enough nations configured for the map?**
We just use the HvN logic (Generate random nations)
### Warning
**This infra PR also needs to get merged:

Otherwise players can set 0 nations and get achievements.**

## Description:
Currently only the master process sends public lobby updates to clients.
This is not scalable since it could overload the master process.
In this PR, the master uses IPC to send public lobby info to all
workers. Then clients connect to a random worker to get public lobby
updates via websocket. This way clients never connect directly to the
master websocket.
The flow looks like this:
Every 100ms:
1. Master schedules a public game on a random worker if new games are
needed
2. Master broadcasts public lobby info to all workers (all public games
& num clients connected to each game)
3. Each worker responds to that update with the number of clients
connected to its own public games
4. Master then updates its public lobby state so it knows how many
clients are connected to each public game

## Description:
Changes URL embeds within other platforms, e.g. Discord, WhatsApp & X.
Updates game URLs to `/game/<code>` instead of `/#join=<code>` (required
for embedded URLs). An added benefit of this is that you would be able
to change a url from `openfront.io/game/RQDUy8nP?replay` to
`api.openfront.io/game/RQDUy8nP?replay` (add api. In front) and be in
the right place for the API data.
Updates URLs when joining/leaving private lobbies
Appends a random string to the end of the URL when inside a private
lobby and options change - this is to force discord to update the
embedded details.
Updates URL in different game states to ?lobby / ?live and ?replay.
These do nothing other than being used as a _cache-busting_ solution.
