CLAUDE: Add game state eviction and resource management

Game Engine Improvements:
- State manager: Add game eviction with configurable max games, idle
  timeout, and memory limits
- Game engine: Add resource cleanup on game completion
- Play resolver: Enhanced RunnerAdvancementData with lineup_id for
  player name resolution in play-by-play
- Substitution manager: Minor improvements

Test Coverage:
- New test_game_eviction.py with 13 tests for eviction scenarios
- Updated state_manager tests for new functionality
- Updated play_resolver tests for lineup_id handling
