Modified GWS Spectate System Overhaul + Patches

Description
Requested by Gentoi and Eddygar.

Before using this addon, unsubscribe from the unmodified one.

What changed is that I added two new console variables that determines the time in seconds until corpses/ragdolls disappear and the time until you get sent to spectator mode after death.
Other changes I made are that `start_spectating` and `stop_spectating` should be working properly again, pressing RELOAD (default: R) makes you stop spectating the target regardless of spectate view mode, and made changes to the way players are cycled though to acommodate the specific target unspectation.

Let me know if any issues happen.

It helps when filming multiplayer server stuff and you don't want player ragdolls to be shown for a long time, and also so there's time to see the killer before you get to spectator mode, much like Pill Pack Hide and Seek.

At first it worked perfectly for me and a friend in testing, but the minute I used Stop_spectating it COMPLETELY broke it and I could not get it to work again.
I thought maybe because I had this patch and the other + version that this one is based off of, there was a conflict.
Got rid of the og + one only for it to STILL NOT WORK.
I have tried all kinds of ways I could think of to make it work and it just wont and at this rate I dont even wanna have the addon anymore despite me n my friends wanting to use this for the hide and seek mode

I haven't gotten the chance to update this addon, so I'll message Zarete and see if he can fix the issues there

A constant problem that happens when i try to play with my friends using this addon, whenever my friends press space when spectating, it just kills the people that their spectating and i don't know anyway of solving this reoccurring issue.

I've been setting sv_spawns_ragdolltimer to values 3600 and below, but it doesn't seem to do anything?

@Unit SAR-13113 It's done via ragtime or ragdoll timer convar. I forgot what that other convar was but you could set it to a really high value

Any way to disable the ragdoll despawning entirely, though?
