Validating interest

1. For initial design of interest providers / local testing, it is enough to run the game in editor and select player object with PlayerInterestManager component.
2. To see interest shapes and cells of a real client, it is best to run Host/Server in Editor and Client from standalone build, then select client's player object with PlayerInterestManager component.
3. To see actual interest of a real client, it is best to run Host/Server from standalone build and Client in Editor. Check scene view what objects start/stop synchronizing.
