Implement collision avoidance for puck carrier with debug visualization

- Add threat detection system that detects opponents within 3m radius
- Puck carrier automatically evades when opponent is in path to goal
- Evasion direction (left/right) persists while opponent in threat zone
- Fix behavior tree instantiation to reuse trees per player
- Add comprehensive debug visualization (magenta circle, threat indicators)
- Fix DefensiveBehavior type errors (carrierTeam -> possession)
