The Movement Penalty on Mud Surfaces Is Removed

Walking through mud no longer slows players down, and a bug that caused molotov and incendiary grenades to create a fire ring in mid-air has been fixed. Knife slashing can now be interrupted with an inspect animation, and molotov extinguishing performance has been improved. This patch also includes several weapon finish and glove tweaks along with general crash fixes.
