Improved connection logic to help servers that aren't automatically reconnecting to Steam

Fixed seeing error dialogs if the "-nocrashdialog" command line parameter is present

Added an optional per-map particle manifest called _particles.txt, which should be located in the maps directory, so map authors can load custom particle files

Fixed tournament mode being interrupted if mp_timelimit hits before both stopwatch rounds have been played
Fixed "jointeam unassigned" exploit
Fixed being able to respawn during the chat time before a level change
Fixed "sensitivity" ConVar not capping the upper value which sometimes caused a server crash
Prevented some exploits based on mat_dxlevel being changed in-game
