inventions: resolve real creator ids for a room (creatorIds)

api/inventions/v1/creatorIds was a stub returning an empty list, so the
2020.03 watch's GetCreatorIdsOfInventionsInRoom never learned which
creators it must request invention permissions for before spawning a
room's invention-based geometry. Resolve the real set from
InventionEntity.CreationRoomId via a shared ResolveRoomInventionsAsync
helper: direct matches (created in-place) unioned with the imported
cluster (most-frequent non-local CreationRoomId among the room creator's
inventions, since zip-imported inventions keep their original Rec Room
room id). Returns List<int> of distinct creator account ids.
