Reduce winner celebration confetti intensity and duration for subtler animation effect

Simplified confetti animation by removing continuous rain effect and reducing burst parameters. Changed color palette to warmer gold/green tones. Decreased particle count from 170 to 55 per burst, reduced spread from 95° to 72°, lowered velocity from 42 to 28, and adjusted positioning. Added gravity, ticks, and scalar parameters for more controlled particle behavior. Shortened total celebration duration from 5500ms to 4200ms.
