3 ConVars (tf_sniper_rifle_laser, tf_sniper_rifle_laser_min_opacity, tf_sniper_rifle_laser_max_opacity) rewrite sniper laser rendering to prioritise smoothness and accuracy increase opacity of laser particle as charge percentage increases add dummy function to tf_weapon_laser_pointer.h to stop CSniperDot::ClientThink from running whenever wrangler is active

Honestly I would like to see this in game, even if not on official servers. Then again, they could set it on in Casual mode for a while and see how people react to it. |

Description
This PR gives servers the ability to give all sniper rifles laser sights that indicate where the Sniper is aiming, the lasers also indicate how charged the shot is. While working on this I ended up rewriting the Sniper laser rendering code, which is used for the robot Snipers in MvM. The lasers in both instances appear much more smoothly because of this.
ConVars:
tf_sniper_rifle_laserIf set, all sniper rifles will have a laser sight, similar to Snipers in Mann Vs Machine.tf_sniper_rifle_laser_min_opacityThe minimum opacity of sniper rifle laser sights.tf_sniper_rifle_laser_max_opacityThe maximum opacity of sniper rifle laser sights.You cannot see your own laser when scoped in, or spectating someone who is scoped in. Care has been taken to make sure that robot Sniper lasers in MvM look visually identical to live TF2.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
These changes make use of new particles I created (sniper_laser_sight_beam_muzzle & sniper_laser_sight_beam_dot_muzzle) in order to allow for the laser to have its opacity changed and to fit better on the muzzles of the sniper rifles.
This required me to create a new
class_fx.pcffile! This file MUST be placed in the particles folder! The PR will not work without it!class_fx.zip
