The client was checking activePlayers.length <= 1 and calling endGame()
prematurely, before the server's authoritative game-over event.
Now the client only ends the game when the server explicitly sends the
'game-over' event.
Added server-side logging to track active player count and winner.

When garbage rows are added to a player's board, the current falling
piece was not being adjusted, causing it to appear stuck while the
board shifted. This fix increments the piece's Y position when garbage
is received and eliminates the player if the piece is pushed above
the visible board.
