Fixed rare client crash on connection and level change

Removed refract from water ripples caused by bullet impacts for performance reasons

Added log entries for player extinguished events using the medigun, jarate, flamethrower and dispenser

Added spawn flag to func_respawnroomvisualizer that allows it be non-solid to players

The Dead Ringer's cloak consume rate has been slightly reduced, giving about an extra second of cloak time on a full meter
