Description

Bygfoot has extensive game data: country definitions (42+ countries), player name lists, live commentary strings, CPU strategies, and team definition files. These currently live in support_files/definitions/ as XML files.

Tasks

Use //go:embed to embed the support_files/definitions/ directory tree
Use //go:embed to embed commentary files (support_files/lg_commentary/)
Use //go:embed to embed player name XML files (support_files/names/)
Use //go:embed to embed strategy files (support_files/strategy/)
Write Go functions to load embedded data into game structs
Remove filesystem path dependency from file_find_support_file and similar functions

Acceptance Criteria

Game can start without any external files on disk
Single binary contains all game data
Building without data files fails at compile time (not runtime)
