977: Active moderator mode r=heinrich5991 a=Ryozuki
This PR adds a RCON command called "moderate", which enables a active moderator mode for the caller, so this will happen if a vote kick/spec is made:
- Vote will last atleast x seconds defined by CGameContext::m_VoteCloseTime (35 seconds on ddnet, according to @heinrich5991) even if there is majority.
- If a active moderator votes, it will be a force vote.
- If the active moderator doesn't vote, it will pass normally
- This is only for kick and spec votes.
I also added `access_level moderate 1` to autoexec_server.cfg
If there are any spelling errors on the code tell me.
Maybe needs to be tested more.
948: Remove deprecated multi commands r=Learath2 a=heinrich5991
You now have to use `/mc;` instead of `/` if you want to bind multiple
commands to one key.
953: Overhauled job system r=Learath2 a=heinrich5991
The engine now takes `std::shared_ptr<IJob>`, this will ensure the
appropriate lifetime of the given parameters, it also allows for proper
destruction. Remove the now obsolete `IFetcher` interface and `CFetcher`
class.
Also adds some locks to `CUpdater`, previously it didn't have any locks
at all.
931: Add Speedup tiles correctly at the border creation & remove tile layer extension restriction & fix the LastIndex buffer initlialization & setup non mipmap textures up correctly(texture completness) r=heinrich5991 a=Jupeyy
Allows speedups to be drawn on extended range(out of map range) too.

869: Complete rework of the ghost and race recorder r=Learath2 a=Redix
This PR fixes a lot of issues with the ghost and race recorder, introduces a new ghost file format and implements some pretty useful features.
**A quick overview:**
- When you cross the start line multiple times, both (ghost and recorder) will only restart if it is a non-solo server
- If available, both will use the race timer to recognize the start instead of searching for the start line
- Fastcap support for both
- The recorder immediately starts when the Tee spawns, so the preparation steps (which are quite important for speedruns) will be included in the demo. If you do not cross the start-line within 20 seconds, it will stop the demo until you really start.
- Better ghost menu (colors, reloading, deleting and saving ghosts)
- The ghosts are more resistant against lags (old ones were sometimes completely useless due to small lags)
- New ghosts files are significantly smaller
- Cleanup, bugfixes..
**About the new ghost format (version 4/5):**
This format is used by Teerace for over a year now. The code for handling the binary files was moved to the engine. It includes an auto updater which creates a backup of all ghosts and converts them to the new format afterwards. The major differences from the format used by DDNet right now (version 2), are the ability to store multiple types of data, the usage of delta-encoding and a more portable header.
For whatever reason, the ghost stores values for every predicted tick, but without tick information, so lost snapshots can make them unusable. The new code uses the original values from the snapshots including ticks but it can also handle the old ones without. Since hardly any server uses the high bandwidth option this practically reduces the file size.
Like the demo recorder the ghost recorder directly stores the data to a file (every 50 snapshots) instead of writing the whole file at the end of the race. Indeed this can be changed with only a few lines if the old behavior is preferred.
The updater can handle version 2 (DDNet) and 3 (old teerace format, only slightly different from version 2) files. The updating already happens when the files are scanned for generating the list in the menu and not only when you activate them. The change from version 4 to 5 was only needed due to a bug in the implementation, the ghost loader can read both.
Some numbers about the file size: (map: hotrun, both about 30 seconds)
- Old ghost: 30.4 kB (converted: 10.7 kB)
- New ghost: 5.4 kB
**One thing about the race recorder:**
The old implementation compared the new file only with the first file it found for the particular map. The new one compares with all related demos and deletes them possibly, so that only the best demo is left. Since DDNet can also store the demos without name, this might also delete demos from other players, that you might have in your directory.
To prevent this I at least check whether the demo contains the player name if `cl_demo_name` is on.
In my opinion the better solution would be to remove `cl_demo_name` and always use the player name.
