The GeoLite2-City.mmdb is gitignored and absent in a fresh clone, but the reader was opened in a static initialiser, so the WebSocket controller failed static init and the server would not start. Open it in a try/catch and fall back to the lookup defaults when the file is missing.

The GeoIP-optional change was split out into its own PR (GeneralsOnlineDevelopmentTeam#44) at the reviewer's request; this restores the original non-optional reader here.

Description
The GeoLite2-City.mmdb is gitignored and absent in a fresh clone, but DatabaseReader was opened in a static initialiser of WebSocketController. A fresh checkout therefore failed static init and the server crashed on startup before a single request could be served.
This makes the database optional: opening it is wrapped in a ry/catch, and when the file is missing the lookup falls back to the existing default coordinates (the same defaults the code already used for a lookup failure).
No behaviour change when the .mmdb is present.
Split out of #43 at the reviewer's request.
