Drop Apex Dynamics from the playable roster (2 races now: Inner Sphere
Navy, Outer Rim Collective) to simplify the 2D art pipeline; World's
race-offer logic just shuffles both remaining races instead of picking
2 of N. Also fix bullets using a constant muzzle velocity instead of
adding the shooter's own velocity, and shrink the bullet hitbox/sprite.

- In-game chat: T=all, Y=team (race doubles as team), server-relayed and
team-filtered via new ChatManager autoload; last 10 messages shown
bottom-left (chat/chat_box.gd).
- Bot fill for casual (bots/): keeps each of the match's 2 offered races
at a minimum of 7 total humans+bots, spawning/despawning reactively as
players join/leave. Bots always fly their race's fighter and use
negative peer_ids so they ride the existing networked-ship stack
(spawning, loadout sync, health/position sync, bullet attribution) with
no special-casing. Casual matchmaking now forms with just 1 real player
queued instead of waiting for a second (matchmaking-api/).
- Borderless fullscreen with stretch scaling disabled instead of scaling
the Steam-Deck-matched 1280x800 canvas up to fill PC monitors (which
read as zoomed in) — PC monitors now reveal more world/HUD at native
size instead. Reworked main_menu/team_select/chat_box to position via
anchors relative to the real window instead of hardcoded coordinates.

Checkpoint of the existing flat file layout prior to restructuring
into autoload/, menu/, ships/, world/, and assets/ folders.
