andrew 4c17e70620 Add serverWorldState packet and GUI controls

Introduce a server-authoritative world-state packet to control weather and time from the dev server GUI. Adds protocol docs and message type (serverWorldState), a new Weather/Time tab in dev_server_app.py, server-side broadcasting in server_core.py, and preset utilities in server/world_state_presets.py. Plugin changes (F4TNetworking.cpp, F4TWorldStateSync.*) queue and apply incoming serverWorldState on the game thread, run `set gamehour` for all clients, and run `fw <8-digit-id>` on the assigned player 1 then force the host to relay a worldState snapshot. Also includes parsing/validation of hex form IDs, logging improvements, and minimal fake client handling. This ensures consistent server-driven time/weather and documents usage and presets.

Protocol

This folder documents the planned network protocol for Commonwealth Online.

The first protocol should be simple and focused on player transform sync.

First Packet Types

Welcome packet
Transform packet
World state packet (host time and weather) — see world-state.md
Server world state packet (dev GUI weather/time) — see server-world-state.md
Disconnect packet

Future Packet Types

Animation state packet
Fire weapon packet
Health packet
Chat packet
Cell change packet

Design Goals

The protocol should be:

Simple
Easy to debug
Versioned
Safe to extend
Clear enough to test outside Fallout 4

Early Testing

The protocol should be testable using fake clients before being connected to Fallout 4.
