Mid-Air HE Grenade Damage Near the Ground No Longer Miscalculates

HE grenades that explode just above the ground no longer have their damage calculated as if they had hit the ground. Community maps can now prompt players to save modified settings like radar and viewmodel choices via host_writeconfig_with_prompt, though they are also restricted to a smaller list of allowed console commands. Stronghold received a Community Workshop update, and exploding chickens got a performance optimization.
