Fixed TTTGame.check_winner.

What I changed
Added 8 cases to check for to see if someone won: three rows, three columns and two diagonals.

Why I changed it
TTTGame.check_winner always reported false, so the game only ended when the board was full even if someone should have won.
Estimate for remaining time to finish assignment: [Like a few hours assuming my students don't rip a door off its hinges in the bathroom again...]

For the first one, I would put an X on the rightmost cell in the middle row. This would allow me to get a win. For the second one, I would put it in the same position as I would have in the first. This prevents O from winning on the next turn and puts me one turn away from winning, assuming the opponent doesn't block that route. For the third one, I would put it in the top left. This gives me two possible ways to win, and since the opponent only has one turn after mine before I get to go again, they cannot stop me from winning. For the last one, I would put it in the center. The opponent has to block by placing an O in the bottom right, and then I can put an X in the leftmost cell of the middle row. This leads to two possible ways to win again.
