This brings NQ's physics a little closer to QW's. After studying both the
original WinQuake source and the progs source, this change should be
harmless, making very little difference. However, it does allow an
entity's think function to be called multiple times in the same frame (for
when the entity needs more time to think, but it would cause runaway loop
errors). Maybe need a "runaway think" check.
This has several benifits:
o The silly issue with alias model pitches being backwards is kept out
of the renderer (it's a quakec thing: entites do their pitch
backwards, but originally, only alias models were rotated. Hipnotic
did brush entity rotations in the correct direction).
o Angle to frame vector conversions are done only when the entity's
angles vector changes, rather than every frame. This avoids a lot of
unnecessary trig function calls.
o Once transformed, an entity's frame vectors are always available.
However, the vectors are left handed rather than right handed (ie,
forward/left/up instead of forward/right/up): just a matter of
watching the sign. This avoids even more trig calls (flag models in
qw).
o This paves the way for merging brush entity surface rendering with the
world model surface rendering (the actual goal of this patch).
o This also paves the way for using quaternions to represent entity
orientation, as that would be a protocol change.
There are some problems with menus and the console messing up the key_dest
state (they assume console/menu or game, nothing else), but otherwise
things seem to work.
I got rather tired of there being multiple definitions of mostly compatible
plane types (and I need a common type anyway). dplane_t still exists for
now because I want to be careful when messing with the actual bsp format.
Currently only "id", "hipnotic" and "rogue" are supported (anything else is
treated as "id"). Has no effect in quakeworld (good thing too: changing
gamedirs is a little broken).
If a tossed entity has ONGROUND set, it won't move, but if it has an upward
velocity, it can't possibly be ONGROUND, so clear the flag if the entity is
moving upwards.
This also makes functionality consistent across the platforms, such as
adding support for -dedicated to sdl based nq, and various timing
calculations are now consistent.
It seems qsockaddr's assumptions aren't necessarily portable, as OpenBSD
seems to be doing weird things with qsa_family. Even if that's not the
case, this is cleaner.

As this might break the gameplay of certain maps, the new sv_jump_any
cvar can be used to disable this feature (bringing back the old behavior).
