fix(botai): Use cached GUID in destructor to prevent dangling pointer crash

Browse Source 
BotAI::~BotAI() was accessing _bot->GetGUID() for blackboard cleanup,
but during destruction _bot may be a dangling pointer to already-freed
memory. This caused ACCESS_VIOLATION crashes (C0000005) during bot
session destruction.

The fix uses _cachedBotGuid (captured in constructor) instead, following
the same safe pattern already used in UnsubscribeFromEventBuses().

Root cause: Race condition where Player object is destroyed before BotAI
destructor completes blackboard cleanup.

Evidence from crash logs:
- "Removed bot blackboard for Player-1-214CB312020" (hex pointer value)
- "AFKSimulator::OnShutdown - Bot  AFK simulator shutdown" (empty name)
