Move simulator to the server #5393

In the current multiplayer model, the host runs the game simulation and sends screen updates to the other players. This design brings with it a number of performance problems. including a large potential for laggy experiences. In a future iteration, we want to simulate the game server-side, and send screens to all clients.

When we implement this, we should consider sending game updates via WebRTC. Encoding it this way will head off a number of problems, especially around the playing of music.
