Event-driven world time sync (timeSync flag)

Introduce an optional timeSync field and event-driven time pushes so host time is only re-applied on connect, resume-from-freeze, or large jumps while weather continues on ~1 Hz heartbeats. Added IsGameTimeFrozen detection and client buffering of latest host time; clients apply host time only when timeSync is true or when gameplay just resumed. Updated networking to read/write timeSync, adjusted F4TWorldStateSync logic (separate time vs weather send/apply paths, changed function signatures and behavior), and updated protocol/docs/changelog and fake_client logging to reflect the new field and behavior.
