Each server in the server list requires a node. It's also MAXNETNODES-1 because
the first node is yourself.

(cherry picked from commit 1484f0484f6c22382b2cae955a93c01f83d54655)

This avoids some desynch issues and is simpler to handle.
Those packets are always big anyway, so the difference is irrelevant.

This code uses a custom packet acknowledgement system,
which is more suited for file transfer and does not suffer from
the small sender window used by the default acknowledgement system

This took fucking ages and it still fails sometimes in edge cases, but I
don't give a FUCK right now.

This is accomplished by simply preserving
the player's body after disconnecting.

Bodies will despawn after the number of minutes
specified by the "rejointimeout" console variable (float).
A value of 0 disables the feature completely.

Clients rejoining are identified by their IP address,
and may rejoin even if the server is full or joins are disabled,
for as long as their body remains.

From a technical standpoint, when the user disconnects,
the player they were controlling does not leave,
the underlying player_t just keeps working normally,
except it does not receive any input anymore.
When the user reconnects, they are simply "relinked"
to their player_t.

Those "soulless" players can be identified through
their "quittime" field, which is the number of tics
elapsed since the user disconnected, or zero
if still connected. "quittime" is exposed to Lua.

PACKETVERSION 1

You get a PACKETVERSION, for when some packets change format.

You get SRB2APPLICATION, for when you have big fucking mod.

Fix sprite-related console errors that occur in netgames whenever the game attempts to synch the player's state.

Turns out the code was using P_SetMobjStateNF to "fix" the player's state ...which got things all wrong, lol.

* Store gravflip (resolves #206) and destscale in starposts. (Using the same field, taking advantage of the fact that object scale will always be positive!)
* Update the function signature of P_MixUp to accomodate both it and drawangle instead of doing it outside of the function.
* If the player is spawning from the start of the stage and it's from the ceiling, be in fall frames as requested (resolves #191).

Ported over from Kart

Someone thought it was a good fucking idea to make logins NetXCmds. NetXCmds
are sent to everyone however. Thankfully logins are two passes. And the second
pass uses a salt based on the playernum. Therefore, in order to actually make
use of the final hash, you'd have to be the same playernum as who originally
sent it. Still a stupid exploit.

P.S. The netcode is LOL XD by VincyTM -Telos
