Adds a Hungry Studio organization and a pattern for afafb.com, the in-app ad-mediation and player-analytics backend of the studio behind Block Blast!.

No example page request for this one — it's an in-app domain that we see at the DNS level, so it probably won't show up in crawl data. The hosts we observe are mediation-receiver.afafb.com, mp-api.afafb.com and tadata.afafb.com (the last no longer resolves). Ownership is still checkable from the web: Hungry Studio's own Block Blast site serves its news cover images from gcm-oss.afafb.com (e.g. https://gcm-oss.afafb.com/news/covers/202607/5cefdb46-aabf-4d10-a7a9-d022d55e7487.jpeg, found on blockblast.com), and the share.blockblast.com page script treats horizon-dev.afafb.com as one of its own hosts.

On what the hosts are: mediation-receiver.afafb.com is a CNAME to gamedot-adx-alb-1894220976.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com, mp-api.afafb.com to shucang-realtime-web-alb-620367517.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com, and Cert Spotter shows certificates issued for rtb.afafb.com and *.rtb.afafb.com.

Operator and country: the privacy policy states "The Services are operated by ARETIS LIMITED", and Google Play's verified developer block for Block Blast! gives ARETIS LIMITED at 11&12&ROOF/F, 133 Wai Yip St, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong — hence HK. The privacy contact is in section 9 of that policy but Cloudflare-obfuscated, so it isn't in the page text; decoded it's privacy@hungrystudio.com.

Filed as advertising since the mediation host is the highest-volume one we see; happy to split the analytics hosts (mp-api, tadata) into site_analytics if you'd prefer.
