fix: replace all window.location.href with Next.js router for proper navigation

- Replace window.location.href with useRouter().push() across all components
- Prevents page reloads that break fullscreen state and React context
- Enables proper client-side navigation as intended by Next.js
- Fixes fullscreen persistence issue when navigating between pages
- Improves performance by eliminating unnecessary page reloads

Files updated:
- GameCard.tsx: Main game navigation from arena
- AppNavBar.tsx: Exit arcade button navigation
- ResultsPhase.tsx: Back to games button
- Games page: Game launcher navigation
- Arcade page: Exit arcade navigation
- FullscreenGameLayout.tsx: Exit game navigation
