Introduce cl_maxfps -1 for "use optimal value based on render framerate"

Browse source 
(this is the default value of that cvar now)

In Qcommon_Frame(), if cl_async is 1, the packet framerate should
ideally be a fraction of the render framerate, and to avoid movement
glitches and such it should be between 45 and 90, ideally around 60.
With cl_maxfps set to -1, pfps now is set to such a value automatically.

this formula gives nice dividers that keep pfps as close as possible

=> exactly every third renderframe we also run a packetframe
