Fix player rename in pre-game lobby on rejoin
Previously, when a player left a lobby, changed their name, and
rejoined, the server reused the original Client object without updating
the username. Now rejoinClient accepts the new username and applies it
if the game hasn't started yet, while still preserving names mid-game
for consistency.

## Description:
This implements the backend for multiple lobbies in preparation for
https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO/pull/3191
The server now schedules & sends a map of game type (ffa, teams,
special) => public lobbies.
NOTE: this is just temporary, the lobby only shows ffa currently.
Have the Master scheduler schedule ffa, teams, & special games.

- Removed all code related to generating a client ID on the client. The
server now assigns the client ID and sends it to the client in lobby
messages.

## 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:
1. Using the wording `"Nation"`, `"FakeHuman"` and `"NPC"` at the same
time is confusing.
So I renamed every mention of `"FakeHuman"` and `"NPC"` in the entire
project to `"Nation"`. Just like they are called ingame.
2. `BotBehavior.ts` was originally intended for sharing the logic
between nations and bots.
But at the moment, the logic there isn't really shared and it's
basically just about attacking.
So I renamed `BotBehavior.ts` to `AiAttackBehavior.ts`. I use "Ai" to
indicate that this file is used by bots AND nations.
3. Moved `execuction/utils/AllianceBehavior.ts` to
`execuction/nation/NationAllianceBehavior.ts` to make sure everybody
understands that this file is not about alliances in general. It's just
about nations and how they handle alliances.
4. Removed `difficultyModifier` from `DefaultConfig`. It's unused and I
think we usually want to finetune the difficulty instead of using that
method.
5. Added `assertNever` in all `switch (difficulty)` default cases.

Previously, the connection and reconnection logic were identical in
Worker.ts, so clients would need to be re-authorized for cosmetics etc
even when reconnecting. Now, on reconnect, Worker.ts only does
authentication - verifying the jwt is valid.
This will allow clients to require a valid turnstile token when first
connecting, and not when reconnecting after a broken ws connection.

## Description:
Added player management features so lobby hosts can kick players from
private games. This includes both UI changes and backend work.
### What's new:
- Hosts can now kick players from private lobbies with a simple button
- Added host badges and remove buttons to the UI
- Made sure only hosts can kick people, and hosts can't kick themselves
### How it works:
- When someone creates a private game, they automatically become the
host
- Kicking happens through WebSocket "kick-player" events
- Server checks that you're actually the host before letting you kick
anyone

/>
### Known Issues:
- Kicked player gets general message (same when kicked for multi tab)
### Other Issues:
- Host abandoment still existent (host clicks on x; or is closing tab)

## 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
