Gateway / Relay Baseline

Athlos now includes a baseline gateway routing layer:

• client -> gateway -> game server
• Authentication via pluggable GatewayAuthenticator
• Matchmaking via pluggable GatewayMatchmaker
• Load balancing via pluggable GatewayLoadBalancer
• Session routing via GatewaySessionRouter
• Basic DDoS/rate limiting via GatewayDdosGuard

The gateway can be exposed over TCP (GatewayTcpServer) and UDP (GatewayUdpServer), and returns backend route information + session IDs to clients.
