Sanity check player numbers #37

Open Mailaender opened 8 years ago

http://activity.openra.net/ can be easily junked with invalid data such as games with unrealistic large player numbers, which is what @martinalderson did when he tested his exploits https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/11826. Similar to https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRAMasterServer/issues/5, but more annoying as our graphs then scale to the super high player count.

The new advertising protocol calculates these numbers based on the given client list. It doesn't solve the problem, but it does make less trivial to spoof.
