t_p1_hitscan: Add lag-compensated hitscan weapon system

NEW: server/scripts/combat/lag_compensation.gd
  - 128-entry ring buffer of player positions per server tick
  - rewind_and_raycast(tick, origin, direction, range, exclude):
    saves current positions, rewinds to tick-time positions,
    performs PhysicsDirectSpaceState3D.intersect_ray(), restores
  - Falls back to normal raycast if history missing for tick
  - shot_processed signal

NEW: scripts/combat/damage_processor.gd
  - Processes WeaponServer hit results: applies damage, tracks kills
  - Optional distance-based damage falloff
  - player_damaged / player_killed signals
  - Health and kill-count queries

MODIFY: server/scripts/weapons/weapon_server.gd
  - fire() now takes tick parameter: fire(tick, player_id, ...)
  - _perform_hitscan() uses LagCompensation.rewind_and_raycast()
    when lag_compensation reference is set and tick >= 0
  - Non-compensated fallback path preserved

MODIFY: server/scripts/game_server.gd
  - Adds _current_tick counter, incremented each simulation tick
  - Creates WeaponServer + LagCompensation + DamageProcessor as children
  - record_tick() called before each tick's simulation
  - register/unregister_player_node() for player lifecycle
  - _on_player_killed() relays kill events via player_damaged signal

MODIFY: scripts/network/server_main.gd
  - _spawn_player() registers node with GameServer.register_player_node()
  - _despawn_player() unregisters via unregister_player_node()

## LagCompensation — Server-side lag compensation for hit-scan weapons.
##
## Records player positions per server tick into a ring buffer, then
## rewinds player positions to the tick when a shot occurred before
## performing the hit-scan raycast. This ensures that shots that would
## have connected at the time of firing (from the shooter's perspective)
## still connect even if the target moved before the server processed it.
##
## Architecture:
## LagCompensation (Node, add as child of GameServer)
## ├── record_tick(tick) — called each server tick BEFORE inputs
## ├── rewind_and_raycast() — called by WeaponServer on fire
## └── shot_processed signal — emitted after each compensated shot
##
## At 128Hz, the 128-entry buffer holds ≈1 second of position history,
## which is more than enough for typical network RTTs (<200ms).

## Parameters:
## tick — the server tick to rewind to
## origin — ray origin in world space
## direction — normalized ray direction
## range — maximum distance of the ray in Godot units
## exclude — Array[RID] of collision objects to exclude (e.g. shooter)
##
## Returns:
## Dictionary from PhysicsDirectSpaceState3D.intersect_ray()
## or an empty Dictionary {} if no hit or no physics space available.
##
## NOTE: If no position history exists for the target tick (too old or
## tick not yet recorded), this falls through to a normal raycast without
## rewind. This keeps weapons functional even during brief history gaps.
