Precipitation sprite overflow fix
This fixes artifacts of rain/snow sprites appearing on-screen in levels that have rain/snow, if said sprites were high enough above the camera. This kind of thing was previously fixed for sprites of regular objects (and textures of FOFs?), but apparently the fix wasn't applied to sprites for precipitation as it turns out.
I found this most easily reproducable in SRB2TD's Stormy Streets level, because some of the invisible FOFs make raindrops continually splash right up at the sky ceiling itself. Position your camera underneath them right and ...voila, ghostly precip sprites apparently appearing. (You'll need to make a SOC to make the level playable in vanilla SRB2 mind)

(various large invisible blocks used in the level cause rain to make splashes high above the main level, high enough to make ghostly rain splash sprite artifacts appear sometimes in nearby areas)
Dedicated console shift-down fix
This fixes the special console window used by dedicated mode not properly telling the game when shift is held down since the console improvements added in 2.1.17. This means shift+1 is properly interpreted as "!" again rather than 1, shift+- should be "_" rather than "-", etc.
Sorry LJSonic your problems from pre-2.1.17 are probably just your keyboard being for a different locale than the one most SRB2 players play with so I'm aware, I'm not sure what can be done for the time being. =V
Fun note, you can see how the game interprets un-executed input to the console window by playing normal (not dedicated) SRB2 with `-console`, which creates a second window for the console just like you'd see for dedicated mode. Drop down the console on the main SRB2 window, switch to the console window and type something in (DON'T PRESS ENTER), and you'll see the input appearing in the input space in the console window at the same time!

TD render fix 2: Electric boogaloo
This fixes TD's terminal stage freezing the game in a similar manner to Lava Mountain, except this time the FOFs aren't zero-height so it's a slightly different situation?

TD rendering freeze fix
This is a fix for the Lava Mountain freeze issue from TD (KartKrew/TD#13) which can also occur in vanilla SRB2 as it turns out. Basically the issue occurs whenever an FOF with a single-patch texture with holes goes off the bottom of the screen far enough.

This fixes the grid floors in TD's Lava Mountain freezing the game if they go off the bottom of the screen far enough (they have ACWRFL1A as the wall texture, which is a single patch texture with holes)
A spike bug no more
Jumping at spikes on FOFs in reverse gravity - most notably in ERZ3 - no longer teleports you downwards into the death pit beneath it.

Last few changes for 2.1.17
what it says on the tin
* Updated version number
* Added LJSonic to credits (and changed how I look in the credits to be less stupid)
* fixed resynching players seeing the host turn into a spectator for no reason
See merge request !155
-If the server tries to kick a joiner who is downloading the game state, they will get a timeout instead, because a regular kick would only happen once the game state has been downloaded
-Added a timeout for player ticcmd packets, again to prevent freezes to happen in some cases
-File/game state downloading is now faster, the speed is controlled by the "downloadspeed" cvar, in packets per tic
-The reason is now properly shown when the server refuses connection
-Changed the default values of "nettimeout" to 10 seconds (previously 15) and "maxsend" to 4 MB (previously 1)
-Added a "noticedownload" cvar that displays a message in the server console when someone is downloading a file
CMake: Fix nasm Linux builds
When compiling under Linux with CMake and nasm/yasm enabled, the operation would fail during linking with undefined symbols related to the tmap files.
This commit adds support for passing flags to the assembler and passes ```-DLINUX``` in order to compile.
After this change, binaries are successfully compiled with either nasm or yasm on Linux systems.
Tested on Ubuntu.

Savegame hotfixes
Yes, this another netgame related fix! Named this "savegame hotfixes" rather than "ERCZ hotfix" or the like in advance of the fact we probably need a general branch for other $$$.sav fixes?
Anyway, fixes included in by this branch:
* ERCZ's lava falls now act as expected rather than being stuck in place for the map's duration, fixing all other known desynchronisation issues known in the map for the time being (yay)
* Changing sector tags in a map no longer causes joiners to netgames to have their SRB2 application stop responding etc
* Player names should no longer turn red in the console in gametypes outside of CTF/Team Match if a resynch occurs (not $$$.sav related, but it's related to netplay so I lumped it in anyway)

One Eggscalibur fix
Use mobj->watertop instead of mobj->spawnpoint->z. CEZ3 is far from fixed in multiplayer, but this is still one less thing to worry about.

Software plane rendering fixes/cleanup
This is mostly cleanup, with the exception that polyobject planes should now behave somewhat better than they do in 2.1 currently (translucent polyobj planes should now always be actually translucent regardless of where you view them from, for instance). I can't claim I've fixed their rendering once and for all though, there may still be bugs for all I know...
