fix(chat): / and @ are equivalent command prefixes (retail parity)

Retail treats / and @ interchangeably for commands, but two client-side
layers broke the / spelling for server commands:

- ChatCommandRouter refused ANY unknown /verb with a local "Unknown
  command" guess — so /tele, /ci, /acehelp never reached ACE even
  though ACE supports them. The guard is gone; the server is now the
  single authority on what's a valid command (ACE replies "Unknown
  command: x" itself).
- ChatInputParser passed unknown /verbs through as literal speech.
  ACE's GameActionTalk only intercepts the @ form on the wire (the /
  acceptance in CommandManager is the server CONSOLE path), so the
  parser now rewrites unknown /xyz -> @xyz.

Both command pass-throughs (@ and rewritten /) now also force the Say
channel: GameActionTalk (0x0015) is the only wire action ACE parses
commands on — previously a command typed with a chat channel active
would broadcast as channel speech.

Phase J Tier 4 ("/-text must never broadcast as speech") still holds:
letter-verbed input goes out as an @command (never speech), and
command-shaped-but-verbless input ("/", "//shrug") is refused locally
by a narrow router guard.
