feat(api): add answer evaluation endpoint

Complete the game answer flow:

- Add evaluateAnswer service function: looks up the session in the
  GameSessionStore, compares the submitted optionId against the stored
  correct answer, returns an AnswerResult.
- Add submitAnswer controller with safeParse validation and error
  handling (session/question not found → 404).
- Add POST /api/v1/game/answer route.
- Fix createGameSession: was missing the answerKey tracking and the
  gameSessionStore.create() call, so sessions were never persisted.

The full singleplayer game loop now works end-to-end:
POST /game/start → GameSession, POST /game/answer → AnswerResult.
