build and send the battle sector state

npc missions used to get a ServerErrorMessage back. now StartMission builds a
LogicGameMode snapshot off the arena tilemap and answers 21903.

towers come from assets/locations/*.csv the way initDefaultSector does it: tile
coordinates times 500, leader index decided by which half of the map the tower
sits in. the two king towers must be there, the client dereferences them without
a null check. they live in buildings.csv, not characters.csv.

LogicCharacter puts the base object fields fourth, not first. the buff component
writes a fixed array sized by the character_buffs row count even with no buffs.

training_arena parses to 2 kings, 4 princess towers, 36x64 subtiles. snapshot is
602 bytes over 6 objects. the real client has not seen it yet.
