refactor(server): unify first-boot prompts into the ConfigurePrompts phase (#2477)
Stacked on #2475 (the `ConfigurePrompts` phase). Base will switch to `main` once #2475 merges.

## What

Move the engine's own first-boot prompts — data directories, listeners, server name, expansion + map selection — out of `ServerConfiguration.Load` and into **`ServerConfiguration.ConfigurePrompts()`** (`[CallPriority(0)]`), so **all** first-boot prompting (engine and content) runs through the single `AssemblyHandler.Invoke("ConfigurePrompts")` phase. `Load` now only reads/creates the config file.

## Why it's safe

- **Assembly loading uses `AssemblyDirectories` (default `./Assemblies`), not `DataDirectories`** — so assemblies load fine before the now-later data-dir prompt. This is the linchpin that makes the move possible.
- **`UOClient.Load()`** (client-file discovery via `Core.FindDataFile`) needs `DataDirectories`, so it moved *with* the data-dir prompt into `ConfigurePrompts`.
- **`Core.Expansion`** is now assigned in `ConfigurePrompts` (every non-mocked boot). Nothing between `LoadAssemblies` and that phase reads it — type initializers run lazily on first use, not during `LoadAssemblies`.
- **`[CallPriority(0)]`** keeps the engine prompts (including map selection) ahead of content prompts such as the pathfinding pre-bake (priority 50), preserving "after map selection".
- `Main.cs` already invokes the phase — **no startup-ordering edit** here.

## Tests

`Server.Tests` **708/708**, `UOContent.Tests` **418/418**, build clean. Fixtures are unaffected: they call `Load(true)` (now just reads config) and set expansion/data dirs directly; `ConfigurePrompts` is gated on `m_Mocked`.

## ⚠️ Needs first-boot runtime verification

`Main.cs` startup ordering is **not** covered by the fixture-based suite (the fixtures bypass `Main`). Please boot once with a fresh `modernuo.json` to confirm the first-boot prompt sequence (data dirs → … → expansion/maps → pathfinding pre-bake) and that `Core.Expansion` resolves correctly. Docs updated in `dev-docs/server-lifecycle.md`.
