"ConnectionStrength" native column type for scoreboards

Adam Kaminski requested to merge topic/default/connection-strength-column into branch/default

After some people have suggested there be a way to indicate how much packet loss clients are suffering from on the scoreboard, I went ahead and added a new ConnectionStrength column type to SCORINFO. The number of packets missed by the client (e.g. any time a CLC_CLIENTMOVE command doesn't arrive on time, or when they send CLC_MISSINGPACKET) is counted between ping updates, every four seconds. The number of bars that appear next to their ping depends on how many packets were missed during that period:

  • 10 or more = severe (red, one bar)
  • 7-9 = high (orange, two bars)
  • 4-6 = moderate (yellow, three bars)
  • 0-3 = low (green, four bars)

Here's an animation to show how the column looks: ConnectionStrength
