Predictions and States

This one mainly focuses on predicting VCMod features before they are noticed by server. No more delay when pressing a horn, for example. A new system is in place (States). Example when player tries to use horn. Old: calls serverside console command that calls serverside function, which then sounds the horn; New: calls a clientside command, cmd runs all needed checks clientside and sets the state, clientside audio handler manages the sound. While this is happening a net message reaches server which does the same checks, if the state change request is legit, update states of all other players, if its not allowed, it sends a denied message which changes the sender client feature state to the proper one. States get auto sent upon joining for new players.
