Game Invites Now Work From Steam Chat, and CSTV Auto Record Requires a Server

Players can now accept game and party invites from Steam Chat and the Steam Overlay. CSTV auto record now requires either an active CSTV server or tv_record_immediate to be enabled, fixing a case where game events went missing from CSTV demos recorded in that mode. Certain command-line commands, such as econ action previews and match downloads, can now be deferred until the main menu loads, and demo recording performance was optimized.
