- Set sv_demoplaying before devmap so game module knows during
ClientConnect/ClientBegin
- Call ClientUserinfoChanged after forcing spectator team so
CS_PLAYERS configstring has correct team value for cgame
- Record sanitized playerState for spectators (pm_type=PM_SPECTATOR,
PERS_TEAM=TEAM_SPECTATOR) so they show correctly on scoreboard
instead of appearing as regular players from follow-mode corruption

Prevent spectators from joining a playing team during demo
playback, which would disrupt the playback state. Prints a
message to the client instead.

Call CalculateRanks and ClientEndFrame for the spectator in demo
mode G_RunFrame. SpectatorClientEndFrame copies the followed
player's recorded playerState into the spectator's ps, giving
first-person view with full HUD (health, armor, ammo, weapon).
Standard spectator controls work: mouse1 to cycle, mouse2 to
enter follow from free camera.

Record delta-compressed playerState_t for each active player per
frame using MSG_WriteDeltaPlayerstate. During playback, inject
into game module via SV_GameClientNum and mark players as
CON_CONNECTED with correct team. CalculateRanks and the
scoreboard now show recorded players with scores.
This also lays the groundwork for player-follow spectating.

Records full entity state array each server frame, enabling
free-camera demo playback from any viewpoint.
Recording:
- svdemo_record <name> / svdemo_stop
- Captures entityState_t + PVS fields (svFlags, linked,
currentOrigin, absmin, absmax) for all active entities
- Records configstring changes per frame
- File format: svdemos/<name>.svdm
Playback:
- svdemo_play <name>
- Loads map with maxclients=64, reserves recorded player slots
(CS_ZOMBIE with safe rate/timing) so spectator gets a high slot
- Injects recorded entities into sv.gentities each frame with
SV_LinkEntity for PVS visibility
- Re-applies demo configstrings (CS_PLAYERS etc.) after map load,
skipping CS_SERVERINFO/CS_SYSTEMINFO to avoid latch restarts
- Game module runs in demo mode (sv_demoplaying cvar): G_RunFrame
only processes spectator movement, skips all entity logic
- Spectator forced to TEAM_SPECTATOR on connect (ClientBegin)

Add full QL-style PM_StepSlideMove with:
- Master gate: trace from start to final position filters micro-bumps
- Projected position validation: trace down at where player would be
without collision, rejects walls (startsolid) and confirms stairs
- Air-step friction: 3% horizontal penalty on airborne step-ups
- PM_Jump() call when all gates pass on valid stair geometry

Two changes to PM_StepSlideMove that transform stair traversal:
1. Remove Q3 velocity[2]>0 gate (QL pm_airSteps): allow step-ups
while airborne, enabling bunny-hop stair traversal.
2. Conditional velocity clip: only clip velocity to step-down surface
when moving INTO it (dot product < 0). Skip clip when velocity is
moving away (dot >= 0), preserving upward momentum through steps.
This is THE key mechanic for smooth QL-style stair hopping.
Also adds 100ms jump cooldown (lastJumpTime) to prevent same-frame
double-fires during rapid step-ups.

Remove the PMF_JUMP_HELD gate from PM_CheckJump so players can
hold jump to bunny hop continuously without releasing between
hops. The existing Pmove() outer loop already forces upmove=20
when PMF_JUMP_HELD is set, making this the only change needed.

Separate the jump execution (velocity, event, animation) from the
gate logic (respawn check, upmove threshold, jump-held check).
This prepares the code for QL features that need to trigger jumps
from contexts other than the normal ground jump path (step jump,
double jump, etc). No behavior change.

Debug TA and Release TA configs now copy their output DLLs to
workdir/missionpack/ instead of workdir/baseq3/, matching the
Q3 Team Arena directory layout. MISSIONPACK was already defined
for TA configs; this completes the baseline TA setup.
