feat: Add tic-tac-toe game with compact messaging

🎮 New Tic-Tac-Toe Game Features: - Compact 3x3 board display using ASCII art - Smart AI opponent with win/block/random strategy - All messages under 200-character meshtastic limit (tested: 10-50 chars) - Player vs Bot gameplay with X (player) vs O (bot) - Win detection for rows, columns, and diagonals - Tie game detection when board is full - Game statistics tracking (games played, won) 🔧 Integration Features: - Follows established game patterns from hangman/hamtest - Added to restrictedCommands (DM-only like other games) - Integrated with game tracker system for memory cleanup - Added configuration option in config.template - Automatic cleanup of stale game sessions 🎯 Game Mechanics: - Players pick positions 1-9 corresponding to board layout - Simple input parsing (extracts first digit from message) - Graceful error handling for invalid moves - 'end' command to quit game - Automatic game cleanup on completion 📊 Message Examples: - New game: 39 chars - Game moves: 50 chars - Win/lose: 40 chars - Invalid move: 23 chars - All well under 200-char limit Tested: Complete game scenarios, AI behavior, message lengths Follows: Existing game implementation patterns and memory management
