This removes the horrible janky old KeyValues parser and replaces it
with a couple of trivial ad-hoc text parsers. In doing so, make the
format of the actual gamedata files more human-friendly too.
We also gain support for nested SendTables in mkentprops, which are
required to get at various things like player velocity. And, the actual
string matching is made more efficient (or, at least, more scalable) by
way of a cool radix tree thing which generates a bunch of switch cases
on distinct characters.

This is kind of a breaking change but the other code was obviously never
released or relied on by anyone - it will be pushed at the same time as
this in fact. It still seems worth having the original committed
separately to show the progression of development of the feature,
however. Technically the standalone vote cooldown resetting could also
be added back if ever desired however there doesn't seem to be that much
of a use case for that at the moment.
This feature ought to be a lot more convenient now as it allows for
resetting back to a set starting point no matter where the player is in
a run. It isn't universally useful as All Campaigns Legacy solo runs
require switching to a different type of server and Main Campaigns co-op
runs require restarting the game after Swamp Fever to work around the
god mode bug, however it is still useful in a good few situations.
Unfortunately this turned out to be pretty complex to implement, first
requiring a bunch of interop with valve's rather wacky KeyValues stuff,
and then requiring a bunch of especially difficult reverse engineering
of L4D1 v1.0.0.5 because it doesn't use said KeyValues stuff and does
something else completely different instead.
A side effect of all this work is that the nag removal hack is now part
of the KeyValues stuff in kvsys.c, which is kind of a comfier place for
it than just kind of dumped in the middle of sst.c.
