      - Prevent connection timeout during the waiting gamestate from the last commit.
- Keep client connections alive during fades / other internal loops.
- More consistently timeout clients when they reach the end of BACKUPTICS.
- Dedicated servers will not run any game logic if no nodes are sending packets to it, to reduce CPU usage when there is no one interacting with your server.
  - Unlike SRB2Kart, the amount of time is configurable with the "dedicatedidletime" console variable. Setting this to 0 will disable this feature.
- CL_SendClientCmd uses exact packet types instead of magic number offsets.

      Port SRB2Kart join on intermission fix · 80bf4d6c
      Sal authored 
      All gamestates besides GS_LEVEL are unsupported by the save game functions. This commit forces players joining during these gamestates into GS_WAITINGPLAYERS, which is a basic gamestate that just maintains the connection until we can enter the start of a new one. Also provides an extremely simple drawer for GS_WAITINGPLAYERS so the joining player knows what's going on.
