feat(matchmaking): replace legacy rpc_find_match with Nakama native matchmaking

### Summary
This update removes the old RPC-driven matchmaking flow and replaces it
with proper Nakama matchmaker integration. Players now queue using
`matchmaker_add` over WebSockets, and matches are created via
`MatchmakerMatched` callback.

### Changes
- Removed `rpc_find_match` and MatchList polling logic
- Added `MatchmakerMatched` handler to auto-create TicTacToe matches
- Added RPC stubs `join_matchmaking` & `leave_matchmaking` only for
  optional validation (no server-side queueing)
- Updated `main.go` to register:
  ✅ `tictactoe` authoritative match
  ✅ `matchmaker_matched` callback
  ✅ removed obsolete rpc_find_match registration
- Ensured module loads successfully with cleaner InitModule
- Cleaned unused imports and outdated Nakama calls

### Benefits
- Fully scalable & production-ready matchmaking flow
- Eliminates race conditions & manual match assignment
- Supports multiple queues (classic / blitz) via string properties
- Aligns plugin with Nakama best practices
- Enables Python/WebSocket simulation without RPC dependencies
