[Open Assets] SRB2 Battle! Multiplayer Gameplay Mod 9.3

This update contains mostly bug fixes. A couple of adjustments have also been made to item bubble spawn rates, making it harder to stalemate in Survival.

Code:

Maintenance
    - Adjusted item bubble spawn rates
        - Survival: Local item spawn rates become less frequent with each successive spawn
    - Corrected a lua error when Fang uses combat roll against a bashable object
    - Reset player properties if the player triggers certain events while performing an actionstate:
        - Grabbing a CTF flag
        - Being launched by a spring
        - Inhaling an air bubble
    - Tumbling a player cancels any active armageddon nuke the inflicted player is performing
    - Readjusted jump prevention code (moved from JumpSpecial to PlayerThink)
    - Prevented modifiers such as dashmode from permanently altering the player's jump height when a CTF flag is collected.
    - Sudden death cancels any active armageddon nukes being performed by players.
    - Verified player is not 'nil' when calling B.GetSkinVarsFlags

This update changes sudden death behavior to allow all living players to remain in the game; those players who had more lives will stay in the game with stronger shields.

The update also includes several bug fixes and significant performance improvements.

Code:

    Added a new console variable, "battle_collisiontimer", which controls the lockout time before a player can collide with the same player again.

        Allowed splitscreen players to change teams freely
    Arena, Team Arena
        Removed respawn time penalty

    Fixed an issue where Metal Sonic's dash slicer projectiles would behave differently underwater
    Fixed an issue where certain moves could be performed during Game Set

    Made changes to improve custom character support:
        Fixed an issue where character action scripts could not properly affect the player's ability to guard via player.canguard
        Fixed an issue where 2D mode stat changes were being applied every frame
        Added a pw_carry type (-1) to the revenge jetty-syn
        Added a mobjinfo property, donotwaterslow, that disables water physics for MF_MISSILE objects
    Refactored missile, bashable, and item bubble spawner hooks to improve performance
