Splits the WebSocket layer into three pieces so one app instance and many
behave identically: ConnectionManager stays a purely local socket registry;
RoomBroadcaster publishes chat messages to a per-room Redis channel and
every instance (including the publisher) forwards received messages to its
own local sockets via a single psubscribe("room:*") listener started in
main.py's lifespan; Presence is a Redis-backed refcounted hash per room
tracking who's connected across all instances.
Presence replaces the old process-local connected_user_ids check that
Phase 4's offline-push logic used -- without it, a user connected on a
different instance would look offline and get a redundant push. Fixing
this was scoped in beyond the issue's literal ask (message fan-out only)
since it's a real correctness gap in a phase specifically about running
more than one instance; a known limitation (no heartbeat/TTL, so a hard
crash leaks a presence increment) is documented in the README instead of
solved here.
New tests/test_broadcast.py spins up two independent app instances sharing
one Postgres + Redis to prove delivery and presence both actually cross
the Redis boundary, not just work in-process. Manually verified the same
thing against two real uvicorn processes on different ports.
