Do not attempt to disconnect when a packet checksum is invalid

LJ Sonic requested to merge fix-checksum-disconnect into next

Formerly receiving a packet with an invalid checksum would cause a disconnection, which is not desirable because:

  • invalid checksums, albeit uncommon, are a normal occurence with UDP
  • they typically happen on a individual, occasional isolated packet and thus do not disrupt netgames
  • just calling Net_CloseConnection() is not enough to disconnect completely and instead causes weird glitches, such as being able to play but not being able to use the chat.
