rtdb_multiplayer branch changelog

• in stores/firestore-db.js, add lines commented "for rtdb". This allows us to use rtdb in other files.
• added multi-player.js
  • includes the WaitRoom object for matching players (from matching.js in dyadic-learning-trap-task, branch v3)
  • also includes the stuff from user.js in dyadic-learning-trap-task, branch v3

proposed matching logic

• have a list of unmatched players in rtdb
• for new player, if list is empty, add self to list. else, try to match with first person on the list that isn't currently in the proces of pairing.
• while pairing, make sure to check that proposed partner's partner is me
• use transactions to avoid collisions? if things change during proposal, move on to proposing to someone else
