Possible to join TMM team when already in game/match launching state.

[DotNetSimon]

Describe the bug
When you invite someone before you search, they can accept after/while searching. We had a friend joining our team while we just found a match.

To Reproduce
Send invite, wait until match found and let other player accept the invite at that moment.

Log or error message
This is my log file:

Expected behavior
An error notification on the joining player's side that says something along the lines of "This team is already in the queue / already playing"

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

OS
Linux or Windows

Probably makes sense to error out in that case. Nothing bad will happen with the searching or matching though since the searches are separate from the party. If you find a match, the player who joined late will simply not be included in the match. That’s probably a bit confusing from the user perspective though.

@Askaholic Would we want the behavior to be that if that party is currently searching, found a match, or currently in a match, would not be able to join the party? I think that would be more clear than to allow a player into a party but they aren't pulled in.

Yep, I think that makes sense too.
