This is largely based upon the cl_async 1 mode from KMQuake2, which in
turn is based upon r1q2. The origins of this code may be even older...
Different to KMQuake2 the asynchonous mode is not optional, the client
is always asynchonous. Since we're mainly integrating this rather
fundamental change to simplify the complex internal timing between
client, server and refresh, there's no point in keeping it optional.
The old cl_maxfps cvar controls the network frames. 30 frames should be
enough, even Q3A hasn't more. The new gl_maxfps cvar controls the render
frames. It's set to 95 fps by default to avoid possible remnant of the
famous 125hz bug.

While I was at it, I made the max number of lines in the history
configurable at compiletime by introducing a NUM_KEY_LINES #define
In the old times the refresher was a stand alone DLL. For performance
reasons and to avoid laggy input parts of the input system were
implemented in this DLL. Now that the renfresher is part of the main
binary and initialized at client startup we can remove most of the
abstractions between input system, refresher and client. Also the
input system can be treated as a normal subsystem.
Changes:
- Untangle the VID_* stuff and the IN_* stuff. The functions
called by function pointers in in_state are now called directly
and 'struct in_state' was removed.
- Remove input.h and rename the appropriate backend functions.
There's no longer a need for an abstraction layer between the
input backend and the input frontend.
- Move input initialization and shutdown into CL_Init(), like it's
already done for all other subsystems.
- Remove Key_ClearStates(). I'm pretty sure that's a left over from
the old Win 9x backends and unnecessary.
- General cleanup.
This change is needed to break a otherwise fatal cycle:
- The renderer calls VID_MenuInit()
- VID_MenuInit() calls SCR_GetMenuScale()
- SCR_GetMenuScale() relies on gl_menuscale which is still
uninitialized at this time.
Input devices should send key events and nothing more. The ability to
add commands into the input buffer was used by the joystick code
(removed long time ago) and as a dirty hack to work around limitations
of DirectInput.

This reverts commit b46e210d76.
If "horplus" is set, the "fov" cvar is interpreted as the horizontal FOV
in a 4:3 screen, and is adapted automatically to the current screen
aspect ratio accordingly. If not set, use the old Vert- approach.
In addition, "horplus" can also be set from the video menu by selecting
the "Auto" option for aspect ratio, which also resets the FOV value to the
standard 90 degrees.
Finally, add a 5:4 aspect ratio (1280x1024) and correct the 16:9 angle
slightly.
rate 8000 ist mehr als ausreichend bei allem, was kein Modem mehr ist.

cl_maxfps auf 60. Das reicht und verhindert bugs
