Feature proposal: Optional Firestore persistence + online quiz management #48

Description

@dnz-chbn

Hi! I've been working with Rahoot and added a couple of features to my fork that I think could benefit the project. Wanted to check if you'd be interested before opening PRs.

1. Single-port deployment for cloud hosting

The current Docker setup runs web and socket on separate ports, which doesn't work on platforms like Render that only expose one port. I patched server.js to attach Socket.IO to the Next.js HTTP server so everything runs on port 3000. This is fully backward-compatible — local dev still uses two separate ports.

2. Optional Firestore persistence + online quiz management UI

Added optional Firebase Firestore support for storing quizzes. If FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT is set, quizzes are stored in Firestore (seeded from config/quizz/ on first run). If not set, it falls back to the existing file-based storage — no breaking changes.

This also includes a manager UI for creating, editing, deleting, reordering, and importing quizzes (with JSON view), so quizzes can be managed without editing files on the server.

Happy to split these into separate PRs if you're interested. Let me know what you think!
