Save hopefully ~$200/month (#183)

* Save hopefully ~$200/month

Turns out that this consumes a lot of bandwidth from RTDB, I'm seeing like 8 GB/day. Which is kind of insane :(

I think the bandwidth is being counted even for rows that are never returned from the query due to being filtered out. Firebase is just really inefficient. So it's iterating through basically the entire `gameData` database field every time I run this function, ugh.

Making some changes to reduce expenditure.

* Actually save money by improving indexing

Why doesn't Firebase have query iterators…
