Log Message:
syncdoom: quit empty matches fast + reap dead servers' registry files

Two fixes so abandoned/dead games stop lingering in the Browse list:

- mp_server.c: once a client has connected, an empty match (creator cancelled,
  everyone left, or the game finished) now quits after ~8s instead of the full
  60s idle timeout. A never-joined spawn keeps the full grace (its creator's
  connect is still in flight). An empty match is already hidden from Browse, so
  nobody can join it during the wait anyway.

- sd_list_games: a clean shutdown removes its own .ini, but an unclean death
  (kill/crash) leaves it frozen at its last heartbeat. Reap (delete) such a
  file once it's well past stale (x3, leaving margin for SMB attribute-cache
  lag on a shared cross-host games dir); a still-live server re-creates its
  file on the next heartbeat. The merely-stale window still just hides it.

Validated: reap test deletes only the ancient orphan, keeps stale/empty ones
hidden-but-present, lists the joinable game.
