## Description:
Replaces the "Disable alliances" toggle in the host and single-player
lobbies with a "Custom alliances" control: a toggle plus a minutes input
(0 to 15, step 1).
- 0 minutes disables alliances, same behavior as the old toggle.
- 1 to 15 sets the alliance duration in minutes.
How it works:
- Adds one game-config field, `customAllianceDuration` (minutes).
- `Config.allianceDuration()` uses it when set (and falls back to the
existing 5 minute default), and `Config.disableAlliances()` returns true
when it is 0.
- The legacy `disableAlliances` boolean is still read, so older/archived
configs keep working.
- Validation reuses the existing `parseBoundedIntegerFromInput` and
`toggle-input-card` helpers, so it behaves like the other numeric lobby
options (spawn immunity, max timer).
- The join-lobby screen shows "Alliances: {x}m", or "Alliances:
Disabled" at 0.
