Server doesnt send handle_game_info while it is in pre-game state. The
same applies if sever is in game-running state and a new client joins
and thus is in pre-game state before it starts observing. Client should
know the exact number of players immediately when it joins.

Sending separate packets for updating physical connection and number of
players is dangerous. The new number of players should be contained in
PACKET_PLAYER_REMOVE and PACKET_CONN_INFO.
