Coop Dungeon p4

I asked AI to explain to me how the multiplayer movement synchronization actually works as I need to understand every Building-Block.

1. When a client connects, they send a peer_ready RPC to the server (main.gd). The server spawns the player instances on all clients via the MultiplayerSpawner Node.
2. Each player has authority over their own player as described in main.gd via: player.input_multiplayer_authority = data.peer_id. Each players authority = their peer id.
3. Only the client with the authority gathers client input, as can be seen in player.gd: set_process(is_multiplayer_authority()) and player_input_synchronizer_component.gd: if is_multiplayer_authority():
4. In the player scene, MultiplayerSynchronizer is the actual key, It watches the properties we defined and we tell it to sync it through the server to all clients.

we removed the set_process function within the player.gd so that the aim direction now gets updated to the client too
