fix(engine): reduce 2-player spawn radius to 10% for combat density

Reduce 2-player spawn radius from 15% to 10% (2 tiles from center on 40x40 grid).
Bots now start 4 tiles apart, well within the 5-tile attack radius.

Testing results (25 matches, random vs random):
- Combat density: 96% (target: 65-80%)
- Zone eliminations: 4% (down from 84%)
- Deaths per match: 1.9

This ensures combat engagement even with passive random bots, addressing
the plan §3.7.1 combat density target.
