First step of moving hand written bitstream code to struct based
messages (see docs/PacketArchitecture.md). No wire changes.
- GameMsg is now only a server-internal event (delivered to handlers
registered with RegisterMsg); NetGameMsg is a wire message with
Send(sysAddr) (UNASSIGNED broadcasts), SendToClient(sysAddr) (one
client, never broadcasts), WritePacket, Serialize, Deserialize and
Handle. Mixing them up is now a compile error. NetGameMsgEvent<T> /
DeliverLocally carry a wire message to local handlers; loot drops,
pickup, the object debugger, GM invisibility and model RequestUse
use them. The GM invisibility message keeps its target, so its bytes
are unchanged.
- Behaviour change: GameMessageHandler logs and drops messages whose
Deserialize fails instead of handling them with default fields (the
4 messages already registered: RequestUse, RequestServerObjectInfo,
ShootingGalleryFire, PickupItem).
- LUBitStream (kept as on main) gets a virtual destructor (Mail deleted
derived packets through the base) and WritePacket, also used by
ChatPackets::SendRoutedMsg with identical bytes.
- BitStreamUtils::WriteOptional/ReadOptional for default-flag fields
and WriteLengthPrefixed/ReadLengthPrefixed for length prefixed
strings.
- Every message ID enumerator (MessageType::*, ServiceType, Mail's
wire enums) is pinned with static_asserts, so renumbering or removing
one fails to compile.
- Tests: dServerMock copies each sent packet (it kept a pointer to the
caller's destroyed BitStream); PacketTestUtils.h compares packets bit
for bit; helper tests use hand computed golden bytes and equality
with the hand written patterns they replace; compile-time checks
keep the wire/internal split in place.
- docs/PacketArchitecture.md: survey, target architecture,
conventions, verification method and migration plan.

Does not save, only works for this world. Fixed an issue where the incorrect comparison was used to make players invisible again (the same check that makes then INvisible needs to make them visible.)
* EntityManager: ranges and cleanup
Use LWOOBJID for ghosting entities
use ranges::views::values for associative container iteration
remove dead code
comment magic numbers
little bit of optimization (not enough to be game changing or take the time to measure, they are free speedups anyways, we take those)
use cstdint types
* use size_t
* use lwoobjid for ghost candidate
* Moving and organizing Player code
- Move code to CharacterComponent
- Remove extraneous interfaces
- Simplify some code greatly
- Change some types to return and take in const ref (only structs larger than 8 bytes benefit from this change.)
- Update code to use CharacterComponent for sending to zone instead of Player*.

- Remove static storage container (static containers can be destroyed before exit/terminate handler executes)
* remove player cast
* Remove extra includes
* Add a player manager
Used for the static Player functions. Further removes stuff from the Player class/file.
* chore: Move ghosting functionality to component
Tested that ghosting still works and players are still firing off the OnPlayerLeave and relevant handlers.
* move to unordered_set
