Game bundle format

This allowes you to include images for cues locally without needing to host them. To get started create a .zip file which the following layout:

my-jeopardy-bundle.zip
|- game.json
|- images/
  |- daily_double.png
  |- presidents.jpg

• The zip must contain a game.json file somewhere in your Bundle.
• Place every image inside the bundle. All non-game.json files can be used in the game.json
• In game.json, set a clue's image to the relative path prefixed with $, e.g. "image": "$images/daily_double.png".
• When the bundle is uploaded, the loader replaces every $ reference with an in-memory object URL.
