Connect the UI to invite friend to game session

1. Open the InviteToGameSessionWidget_Starter CPP file and navigate to InviteToSession function and replace it with the code below.

   void UInviteToGameSessionWidget_Starter::InviteToSession()
   {
       const UFriendData* FriendData = GetFriendDataFromParentWidget();
       if (!FriendData)
       {
           return;
       }
   
       // disable button for 5 seconds to avoid spamming
       Btn_Invite->SetIsEnabled(false);
       GetGameInstance()->GetTimerManager().SetTimer(
           InviteDelayTimerHandle,
           FTimerDelegate::CreateWeakLambda(this, [this]()
           {
               Btn_Invite->SetIsEnabled(true);
           }),
           5.0f,
           false,
           5.0f);
   
       Subsystem->SendGameSessionInvite(GetOwningPlayer(), FriendData->UserId);
   }
