feat(lobby): added a new player component parameter to notifysessionstart command to streamline processes

[winton-library]

TL;DR

Include player data in the session start notification sent to the game shard.

What changed?

NotifySessionStartCommand now includes a Players field containing the list of PlayerComponent entries associated with the lobby. The dispatchSessionStart function was updated to accept a lobbyIndex parameter, which is used to gather the lobby's players via gatherLobbyPlayers before sending the command.

How to test?

Start a lobby session and verify that the game shard receives a NotifySessionStartCommand with a populated Players field that correctly reflects the players in the lobby at the time the session starts.

Why make this change?

The game shard previously had no information about which players were part of a session when it started. By including the player list in the session start notification, the game shard can immediately act on player data without needing to query back to the lobby world.
