fix: remove hardcoded /Users/apayne path from game engines (closes #836)

Replace hardcoded WORLD_DIR with environment-variable-configurable path.
Default: ~/.timmy/evennia/timmy_world (uses Path.home(), works on any user)
Override: TIMMY_WORLD_DIR=/custom/path python3 game.py

 - Zero latency under load is not physically achievable on one consumer machine serving crisis traffic at scale.
