chore: drop the game category (moved to GetTechAPI/game-catalog)

Games were 962,384 of TechAPI's 1.11M records and referenced nothing, so
they carried 86% of the dump cost for a leaf category: over five hours to
generate and pull requests GitHub could neither render nor merge.

The records now live in GetTechAPI/game-catalog with their import history
intact, validated there (962,384 records, 0 errors) and published at
https://gettechapi.github.io/game-catalog/.

Removes the model, schema, router, serializer, seed and validation paths,
plus the Pages workaround that had to skip games at dump time.
