feat(ui): group RulesDrawer presets by category + layout suggested-rules chips

Phase F.3 + F.2-UI of the rule-variants epic.

Preset metadata:
  - Added optional `category: 'king' | 'objective' | 'movement' |
    'multi-move' | 'pieces' | 'misc'` on PresetDef (registry.ts).
    Defaults to 'misc' when omitted.
  - Categorized all 28 registered presets:
    * King Variants: knightmate-rules, coregal, dual-king,
      weak-dual-king.
    * Objectives: capture-to-win, last-piece-standing,
      first-promotion-wins, suicide-chess, capture-all,
      extinction-chess.
    * Movement: pawns-move-backward, double-pawn-sprint,
      pawn-diagonal-no-capture, knights-leap-twice,
      bishops-ignore-color, rook-warp, wrap-board,
      berolina-pawns(+2), bouncing-pieces(+2), queen-splits.
    * Multi-move: double-move, monster-rules.
    * Pieces: piece-hp, king-heals, explosive-rook,
      knight-immunity, poisoned-squares.

UI:
  - RulesDrawer.tsx renders presets in category sections with
    sentence-case headers ('King Variants', 'Objectives',
    'Movement', 'Multi-move', 'Pieces', 'Misc'). Empty sections
    hidden. Each section has data-testid='rules-category-<id>' for
    e2e addressability. Existing search / scope / duration controls
    preserved.
  - LayoutPicker.tsx renders a 'Suggested rules' chip group under
    each layout with suggestedPresets.length > 0. Chips toggle
    presets on/off. Active = filled (neutral-800), inactive =
    ghost (neutral-100). data-testid='layout-suggested-preset-<id>'
    on each chip.
  - Lobby.tsx wires activations + setPresets props to LayoutPicker
    so chip toggles flow into the host-game payload
    (rulesetIds array).

Tests: 1651 passing (unchanged — pure UI metadata).
