Add .gitignore to exclude Rust build artifacts from version control.
This matches the pattern used by other starter kits and keeps the
repository clean of build outputs.
- Add Clone derive to AppState for axum compatibility
- Import Digest trait from sha2 for hash computation
- Use String instead of &str in response headers for lifetime safety
- Add Position import to grid.rs module
- Make Position Copy for easier cloning
- Replace constant_time_eq with custom hmac_equal function
- Add musl-dev to Dockerfile for Alpine build compatibility
The Rust starter kit now compiles and builds successfully with
cargo check and Docker, matching the requirements from plan §5.3
and §12 (Phase 2).

Replace random 2-player pairing with the full §6.1 algorithm:
- Seed selection: bot with oldest last-match timestamp (tiebreak: lowest bot ID)
- Format selection: seed's least-played player count among {2, 3, 4, 6}
- Opponent selection: Pareto 80%/16-rank skill proximity + oldest last-pairing
with seed + fewest 24h games for game-count balance
- Map selection: least-recently-used active map for the chosen player count,
with map_scores.last_used_at updated after each match
- Random player slot assignment for all participant counts

Add crosspoll_state table to persist per-island generation counters
across evolver restarts. Load state on startup and save after each
cross-pollination check. Add persistence pattern and translation
structure tests.

Add forkable starter kit templates for Python, Go, JavaScript, Rust,
Java, and C# — each with HTTP server scaffold, HMAC auth, game types,
random strategy, Dockerfile, and GHCR workflow. Update /compete/docs
page with starter kit links and registration instructions.
