Demo Skip-Forward Gets Up to 80% Faster After a Usercommand Fix

A fix cuts the time it takes to skip forward in demos by as much as 80%, by stopping too many usercommands from being processed at once. The update also fixes the buy menu and scoreboard sometimes blocking keyboard input, and removes the in-air killfeed icon from grenade kills. New console output can help advanced users diagnose long frames and performance problems.
