ProTanki Server: reconstructing a game server for an older client

ProTanki Server reimplements a ProTanki game server in Kotlin for client library-20221001-223140. Its source includes packet processing and handlers for authentication, battles, chat, garage and other game operations; a later protocol update prevents support for newer clients.
