feat: hold the scheduler on an empty server instead of polling into an ambush

Browse source 
Every failed scheduled start overwrote the rolled Min/MaxInterval with a
hard-coded 5 minutes and never restored it, so on a server that sits empty
the scheduler degenerated into a permanent 5-minute poll. The moment the
first player logged in, an event fired within one retry window and anchored
on their exact position, with a server-wide announcement -- login ambush
rather than a scheduled world event. It also wrote a retry line to
gold-rush.log every 5 minutes forever (Debug defaults to 1).

StartEvent now counts eligible anchors when the schedule expires, holds
without consuming the interval while below MinPlayersOnline, and inserts
GraceMinutes once the world repopulates. The count runs only on schedule
expiry, never per world tick.

New config: GoldRush.RetryMinutes (5), GoldRush.GraceMinutes (15),
GoldRush.MinPlayersOnline (1). GraceMinutes = 0 rolls a fresh interval
instead. GM-forced starts pass scheduled=false and bypass both gates.

Verified with clang -fsyntax-only against the live build's compile flags.
