- Changed earthquake code to not add all the intensities but use the maximum

in DEarthQuake::StaticGetQuakeIntensity. The reason for this: Quakes were
  never supposed to be additive. Many maps, including Hexen's own have placed
  quake spots so that they cover a larger area but the areas covered by the
  single spots overlap. On such maps the view will shake like crazy and
  render the map nearly unplayable.
