Make limiting power screen sounds to 16 optional.

This was added in e3e5bd1 as a work around for some openal-soft bug.
When too many audio samples got played at the same time, the global
volume dropped. This was fixed in openal-soft 0.19.0, released more
than two years ago. We're keeping the work around, because some
distros may still ship with buggy openal-soft versions and some
players may like the changed behavior. It's disabled by default.

* **cl_limitsparksounds**: If set to `1` the number of sound generated
when shooting into power screen and power shields is limited to 16.
This works around global volume drops in some OpenAL implementations
if too many sounds are played at the same time. This was the default
behavior between Yamagi Quake II 7.10 and 7.45. Defaults to `0`.
* **cl_loadpaused**: If set to `1` (the default) the client is put into
pause mode during single player savegame load. This prevents monsters
and the environment from hurting the player while the client is still
