feat: add WebSocket support for Unity game state streaming (#107)

* feat: add ws/ package for WebSocket game state streaming

* feat: add WebSocket ConnectionManager with per-game broadcasting

* feat: add GameStateTracker with deep-diff delta engine

* feat: add WebSocket route with delta push and REST bridge endpoints

* feat: register ws_game_router in lab_api.py
