branderson 1965a1392b feat(streaming): stream Flash with the original player when Ruffle falls short

Flash games Ruffle can play now also report streamable, and the player
offers a switch to the original Flash Player streamed from the server.
Flash games launched from a page, which need the browser plugin, stream
instead of loading a page that can't play, and search no longer hides them
while streaming is enabled.

Schema includes tables for games, platforms, tags, and more.

Development

npm run dev        # Start with hot reload (tsx)
npm run build      # Compile TypeScript
npm run start      # Run compiled version
npm run typecheck  # Type checking only
npm run lint       # ESLint

Required:

FLASHPOINT_PATH - Path to Flashpoint installation
FLASHPOINT_DB_PATH - Path to SQLite database

Optional:

PORT - Server port (default: 3100)
NODE_ENV - Environment (development/production)
