Aaron Kimbrell 350d35dab5 chore: foundations for struct based packets and game messages ...

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.
