 INSTALL.txt, RELEASE-NOTES.txt: Updated docs and fixed some typos
 main/net_ipx.c, main/net_udp.c: Rearranged code to check for netgame-closed flag and refuse-players flag so they are updated correctly if another part of the code changes the menu item without activating it
 main/automap.c, main/menu.c, main/playsave.c, main/playsave.h: Made Automap Free Flight controls an optional feature which can be set in MISC OPTIONS
+main/net_udp.c: Let players launch 1-player team-based games in RELEASE build as well
+main/net_udp.c: Making D1X- and D2X-Rebirth more similar in behavior of which player limit is needed to start team-based game in both RELEASE and DEBUG builds
