New Game Management Queue System

Tasks such as adding a Module to a game, adding Addons to a game, creating copies of a game, and the patching of Addons/Modules have all been moved to the same web host that rollbacks are currently being served on. This takes them out of the main site traffic to make these processes run faster.
Implementing this change alters how the Create New Game process works. Instead of jumping straight into the Virtual Tabletop after clicking on the I'm ready, Create Game! button, your browser will be directed to the new game's Details Page.
The button "Join Game" has had its text changed to "Launch Game" so that the terminology is more universally understood by the game creator and the players.

Minor update which addresses some lignering issues from Rugged Reroll and has some improvements to the ordering of rendering elements on the tabletop.

Tokens that "have sight" are now drawn on top of everything, preventing limited line of sight viewing angles from hiding the token.
Pings and Measurements are now drawn on top of everything else as well, allowing GMs and Players to point out things on the tabletop even if they're hidden to the players.
Pings, measurements, and waypoints now no longer appear to players if they are done on the GM Layer.
A "GM Notes" field was added to the Handouts
Better proxying of external (web search) images.
