Do not show tournament games in the queue to the public #774

(Or, make this a toggleable option for any given tournament. Tho that would be harder)

The queue is nice to keep suspense, and to giveusers a feel for when their matches might be played. However, for tournaments, those factors aren't so useful. Also, the queue can expose winners of the tournament, especially the final tournament, as watchers can count the number of matches to infer the number of rounds, and infer whether the low seed has reset the bracket (forcing an extra match) or if the high seed won in the first match
