SkyratBot c5c79aa929 [MIRROR] Adds respawn config option forcing respawn as another character slot [MDB IGNORE] (#23943)
* Adds respawn config option forcing respawn as another character slot (#78459)

## About The Pull Request

Adds an option to the respawn config which forces you to pick another
character (slot) before you respawn.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Just an idea i'm throwing out there, not necessarily pushing for it to
be enabled on any servers.

Respawning as an alternative character can be a good way to make people
less frustrated at dying, particularly if paired with the cooldown
config that already exists:

"Oh shucks, I died and got my head cut off and got absorbed and got
spaced by some changeling. I won't be able to finish my project or
whatever. At least in 15 minutes I may be able to join as my botanist
character to try something else rather than having to wait an hour and a
half for the round to tick over."

Also nice for downstream support.

(Obviously you can just, *ban* people who respawn as the same character,
use an honor system, but codifying it seems better than not.)

## Changelog

🆑 Melbert
config: Adds a config option for player respawning that enables
respawns, but forces you pick a new character.

respawns is "ALLOW_RESPAWN 1" and character limited respawns is
"ALLOW_RESPAWN 2".
