Also includes some adjustments to:
* Horizontal offset of Eggman countdown in splitscreen again. It's not perfectly centered either way, but on second thought I like this better.
* Sound of Lat`'s Mine/SPB explosions - now uses same sound as Karma bombing, instead of that shitty paraloop.
* Correctly wipe k_eggmanblame when it is appropriate to do so.
A value of 1 in freesrc for Mix_LoadWAV_RW and Mix_LoadMus_RW calls SDL_RWclose on the RWops anyway.
For Mix_LoadWAV_RW the RWops is freed right after the data is loaded (because it makes a copy of the data in memory)
For Mix_LoadMUS_RW the RWops is freed when Mix_FreeMusic is called (because the data is not a copy)
So setting 1 on freesrc doesn't actually free the RWops immediately on Mix_LoadMus_RW *unless* it failed to load any music.
Checks for the flag when freeing, and if it's 0, we free the data manually after Mix_FreeChunk.
I went back to Z_Malloc and Z_Free for this because they still work after this.
Also: temporarily cleaned up the M_CanShowLevelInList record attack conditions to automatically match what we want, instead of requiring us to apply a bunch of vanilla flags just to emulate our "available unless explicitly hidden" MP mechanism like is currently in maps.kart.
* Add the customary LUA_CallAction call to A_GrenadeRing.
* Revamp A_MineExplode into using a blockmap iterator. Having tested it it might be less laggy in some situations, but I think the drawing is causing the bulk of the problems here.
* Re-order the conditions within it such that it quickly checks for shootability and absence of scenery BEFORE it performs the more costly range or parentage checks.
* Make its explosion radius take mapscale into account. (This is the only off-topic change made in this branch. I have made it here because half of this commit, which doing the other half in a seperate branch would conflict with, is on-topic.)

Everything to do with setting states for starposts
In SRB2Kart, starposts are invisble. We don't need to loop through all thinkers just to set their states when there's no visible effect of the state-setting. In addition, it has no consequences for gameplay - starposts have long been silent here, and all checking is done regarding their health, not their state.
Remove extremely low-traffic conditionals (MT_FLINGEMERALD collision height extension, for example)
These objects serve no functional purpose during regular SRB2Kart gameplay. Why should every other object have to pay an admittedly minor performance hit just for them?
Disable all mechanisms of damaging bosses or enemies with the player's physical contact
With the exception of Sapphire Coast, no MF_ENEMY objects exist in the entirety of the standard roster. In addition, the conditions for damaging the enemies were impossible to achieve, because they required vanilla SRB2 mechanics such as "jumping", "spindashing", or "super". Therefore, they can be safely commented out.
Disable NiGHTS-related material (excepting bumper, hoop, and wing-emblem objects)
NiGHTS is fundamentally incompatible with regular kart gameplay and I believe was already broken. Therefore, any mechanism which enters, aids, or abets it can be safely disabled.
Comment out Tag mechanisms
Tag is the only vanilla multiplayer gametype which has sufficient gameplay depth and complexity (HEYOOOOOOOOO) to require dedicated thinking in and of itself in order to manage. This thinking is irrelevant to Kart's functioning, and can be neutered easily.

Disable several devmode commands which are irrelevant to SRB2Kart gameplay
When investigating for references to NiGHTS material, I discovered that these remained untouched. In order to present a more coherent game, I have hidden the ones that serve no purpose for us.

Disable some team-related material
Teams are not present in SRB2Kart at present. Obviously we'd want to reconsider for future, but it doesn't need to be run right now.

Disable 2d movement for players
2D mode? In a kart racer? :nick:
Also, some camera tweaks:
* Force chasecam when exiting, just like it's forced when you're dead and not a spectator.
* Force a horizontal camera angle aiming when spectator and dead, to avoid skybox bugs.
You can now remap Change Viewpoint, Screenshot, and Toggle GIF Recording to other keys, mainly for gamepads
They also pushed me to my breaking point and I couldn't tolerate the control menu anymore, thanks to toaster for the scrolling backport
