fix: Play Again starts new practice game directly, returns to home for real games

[Larkooo]

Summary

• Practice games: "Play Again" now creates a new offline game and navigates directly to it, keeping the player in the game loop without going back to the home screen.
• Real (purchased/staked) games: "Play Again" navigates back to the home screen where the player can purchase a new game.

Previously, both cases navigated to the home screen, which was a friction point for practice players who just wanted to play again immediately.

Changes

• Added handlePlayAgain callback in client/src/pages/game.tsx that checks isPractice (from usePLDataPoints) to determine behavior
• Both GameOver render sites (expired + normal game over) now use the new callback

Test plan

• Start a practice game, die or cash out, press "Play Again" → should start a new practice game directly
• Start a real (purchased) game, die or cash out, press "Play Again" → should navigate to home screen
• Verify expired game "Play Again" also respects the same logic
