Workshop Map Uploads Open, and Knife Attacks Stop Hitting Teammates First

CS2 maps can now be uploaded to the Workshop and hosted on community servers. Knife attacks prioritise enemies and only hit teammates when no enemy is in range, no longer predict damage on the client, and always deal full damage immediately after a switch. Smoke grenades gained a minimum fuse so they stop detonating early when wedged in a crevice, and decoys now interact visually with smoke clouds. Damage events under one point are ignored entirely.
