Fix setup registration: names appear as each player joins

Parser: detect name registration from user input during setup
(sender == name constraint prevents false matches on gameplay messages).

Bridge: extract _process_buffer() to handle leftover lines after
_wait_for_players returns, preventing messages from being stuck.

Player bots: proactively send name on join (not just first player
sending count) so they respond even if they missed the 'say me' prompt.

All tests pass (1551/1553 parser checkpoints, 38 player unit tests).
