Radar-Sichtbarkeitsgates, Hider-Pings im Seek + Ping-Countdown

Radar: nur sichtbar bei >=1 Target, in First-Person und in der Seek-Phase
(Overlay-Kamera getoggelt, Blip-Skripte laufen weiter). Singleton fuer
Server-Zugriff. GameModeManager: Kamera + Tab-Moduswechsel erst ab
gebundenem Lobby-Player (Inert-Zustand ohne Player, Orbit-Input geparkt).

MatchManager: Server tickt im Seek alle radarPingInterval (30s) und
broadcastet noch nicht gefundene Hider (NetworkObjectId + radarPingLifetime
3s) nur an Hunter-Clients; jeder Hunter loest lokal auf und spawnt Blips.
Ping-Loop in die Seek-Coroutine gefaltet (EndMatch stoppt ihn mit).

MatchHud: Ping-Countdown lokal aus Seek-Start + Kadenz berechnet, Format
m:ss (0:30..0:01), ausserhalb Seek / bei deaktivierten Pings 0:00.
