Subject: [PATCH] feat: add Tech Unlocked mode to public lobby rotation

- Add 50/50 rotation between normal and Tech Unlocked games in MapPlaylist
- Tech Unlocked games have all technologies researched from start (researchAllTechs: true)
- Display ' Tech Unlocked' badge in PublicLobby UI when game has all techs unlocked
- Badge uses yellow highlight with tooltip explaining the mode
- Add translation strings for tech_unlocked and tech_unlocked_tooltip

Files changed:
- src/server/MapPlaylist.ts: Add fastModeCounter for 50/50 rotation
- src/client/PublicLobby.ts: Add Tech Unlocked badge display
- resources/lang/en.json: Add translation strings
