Evennia-local-world simulators previously hardcoded /Users/apayne/.timmy/evennia/timmy_world,
making them non-portable and coupling state/log writes to one machine layout.

Change: WORLD_DIR now reads from TIMMY_WORLD_DIR environment variable, with default
~/.timmy/evennia/timmy_world (expanded via os.path.expanduser) so it works for any user.

Files changed:

timmy-world/game.py
evennia/timmy_world/game.py
evennia/timmy_world/world/game.py

Acceptance criteria:

No hardcoded /Users/apayne paths in any standalone Evennia game engine
Engines respect TIMMY_WORLD_DIR when set
Default path portable across all Unix/macOS user home directories
Existing tests pass (test_evennia_local_world_game.py)

Closes #831

Evennia-local-world simulators previously hardcoded a single machine's
home directory, making them non-portable. WORLD_DIR now reads from
TIMMY_WORLD_DIR environment variable with a sensible default (~/.timmy).

Resolves: #831
