Subject: [PATCH] fix(site): link to the game with target=_self to avoid
 VitePress SPA 404

VitePress is a Vue SPA; a same-origin link to /game/ (a separate app, not
a VitePress page) was intercepted by its client router and rendered
VitePress's own 404 until a manual reload. Mark the game links (both
home pages and the nav item) target="_self" so the click is a real
browser navigation that the edge Caddy serves from the game bundle.
