Subject: [PATCH] Fix robots.txt and sitemap issues from code review

- Point Sitemap directive at /sitemap.xml (not .gz) so crawlers receive
  plain XML without needing Content-Encoding headers
- Add Disallow: /leagues/ to block all auth-gated league routes
- Gitignore public/sitemap.xml* so they are always generated fresh at
  build time rather than serving a stale committed snapshot
