JohnM 8d93a3102e Play a body's death animation once instead of restarting it as it falls
The client kept a corpse's animation tree only while the corpse's tr_time
stayed the same. The server changes tr_time whenever a body's fall changes:
when it goes over an edge, when it slides down a wall, and when it lands.
Each change copied the tree again from the victim, whose tree is already
gone because a dead player is not posed, so the corpse got a fresh tree
with the death clip back at its first frame. Bodies flew off standing
upright in the clip's first 50 ms, stood against walls, and then played
the whole fall again where they stopped.

The server now stamps each corpse slot with the level time of the death
(spawn_time_ms, sent with the corpse pool), and the client keys the tree
on that time and the victim. Both stay the same for one body's life and
change when the slot holds another body. When there is no victim tree to
copy (a body first seen late, or an entity number that now holds another
body), the fresh tree starts as far into the death clip as the body is
old, so an old body shows the pose it already lies in instead of dying
again.

The corpse pool's wire format changes, so PROTOCOL_VERSION is 117.

Seen on the Mac (mp_favela, point-blank SPAS-12 kills of a bot on an open
terrace, with temporary logging): every body copies its tree once and its
death clip plays once, from the victim's pose to the end. Before, the same
kill copied it 18 times and drew the body upright in the clip's first
50 ms for about 0.8 s. On an iPhone build, point-blank shotgun kills on
mp_favela no longer glided off upright, stood pinned to walls or replayed
their fall.
