Remove defensive programming and refactor Chili UI to use shared models

Removed excessive if guards:
- RmlUi views no longer check if elements exist before using them
- Let errors fail loudly instead of silently ignoring problems
- Code is much cleaner and more readable

Refactored Chili UI to use shared models:
- StatusWindow: 148 lines → 55 lines (63% reduction)
- CommandWindow: 176 lines → 135 lines (23% reduction)
- TopLeftMenu: 220 lines → 156 lines (29% reduction)
- ControlButtons: 185 lines → 123 lines (34% reduction)
- TeamSelector: 100 lines → 53 lines (47% reduction)
- BottomBar: Updated to accept and use shared models

Both Chili and RmlUi now use the exact same business logic:
- Zero code duplication
- Single source of truth for all panel behavior
- Models can be optionally shared between Chili and RmlUi
- UI classes are now thin presentation layers (render + events only)

Every panel is now pure MVC:
- Model: Business logic, state management, listeners
- View (Chili/RmlUi): Rendering, event binding, UI updates
- Controller: Model (handles user actions via methods)

Total reduction: ~700 lines of duplicated business logic eliminated.
