Remove the dumb catching up thing

[neat carbon]

If im more than 3 seconds behind, just jump to the right time, i dont want to have to wait even longer with the lag, and if im tryna spectate a game thats being going for a while i dont wanna have to wait ages

the way the game works, is turned based, each action is a turn.

the game data is saved in turn steps

example:

turn 1, player one expands

turn 2, player one places a city

Turn 3, player two expands

you cant just skip to the end, because turn 3 would only have the data regarding player two expanding.

the "catching up" is the game going through each step

Assuming the server also has all the data also, I should be able to send a request and just set all of the data at once rather than modifying things in turns. Yes, it will require changing a lot of code, but having a way to do this in place earlier rather than later will be beneficial I believe.

A multiplayer steam game should have the ability to spectate games without watching the whole game at 10x speed for a few minutes to catch up.
