feat(mods): add new mod binaries and update networking test script

- Introduced new binary files for idtech3 OpenGL, RTX, and Vulkan renderers.
- Added dedicated server and client executable for idtech3.
- Updated the networking test script to reflect changes in server startup command and improved waiting time for server readiness.
- Implemented content validation checks to enhance mod loading and asset management.
