Disconnected players do not become IT at round start.
If all non-ITs are disconnected, the round ends.
If all ITs are disconnected, one of the non-ITs
becomes IT, or the round ends if in Hide & Seek.
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.
* Prevent an infinite quantity of Emeralds being spawned when P_GiveEmerald is called while a MP Special Stage is in session (resolves#347).
* Fix FuriousFox's ridiculous timer on special stage spawn (mentioned in the comments of the previous issue) by correctly marking spectator players in special stages as finished, and preventing the underflow.
* When activated, stops the timer in SP/MP.
* Applies to the mapheader countdowntimer as well.
* If you're playing Record Attack, also exits the level immediately.
* It has no special modes, no linedef flags, no parameters, nothing.
* Only not an innate property of A_BossDeath because people may want it to NOT happen sometimes, or make it happen with non-boss events too.
Also, skip over calling P_DoPlayerExit if the player isn't in game.
Mobjs got their own thinker list after all, and disappearing thinkers are automatically purged from their lists and sent to the limbo list.
So it's safe to assume all thinkers inside the mobj list must be mobjs.

Set up a main thinker list and a polyobject mover list to test things up. Works so far, networking as well.
