Summary

  • Rename "Nitrado Allocator" to "GameFabric Allocator" across all server allocation docs
  • Rename NI_* environment variables to GF_* (GF_ALLOC_URL, GF_ALLOC_REGION, GF_ALLOC_TOKEN, GF_EVENT_NAME, GF_LOG_LEVEL)
  • Rename NitradoMatchmakingSucceeded default event name to GameFabricMatchmakingSucceeded

Motivation

Align product naming with the rest of the docs and glossary, which use "GameFabric" branding.
