Workshop Maps Can Now Save Up to 1MB of Data via Steam Cloud

Workshop maps can now persist up to 1MB of save data across installs using Steam Cloud, with the size limit configurable via a new convar. Scripting also gains a new damage event that fires after damage is calculated but before armor and health are modified, replacing Instance.OnBeforePlayerDamage, plus new CSPlayerPawn input-state methods. Map guides written for de_ancient now also work on de_ancient_night.
