- make cl_syncinput work for Duke.

* Current setup was broken and unusable.
* Fixed interpolation issues.
* Only call `GetInput()` at frame-rate when `cl_syncinput` is 0.
* Create `oq16look_ang` and interpolate it for enhanced smoothness.
* Always reset `horizAngleAdjust` and `horizSkew` in `processinput_d()`.
* Don't pre-scale `sb_avel` in `processinput_d()` and `processinput_r()`.
* Promote `p->angvel` from short to fixed_t.
* Don't descale `sync[snum].q16horz` in `processinput_d()` and `processinput_r()`.
* Ensure `false` bool is provided to `sethorizon()` call  in `processinput_d()` and `processinput_r()`.
* Reset `p->q16angvel` in `resetplayerstats()`.
