Mako88 reports that some users want not to autoselect while firing, but
do not notice when a new weapon is added to the HUD, and end up never
activating a preferred weapon. Add a new autoselect mode that remembers
what would be selected and switches to it once the player ceases firing.
Changes since Mako88's proposed version:
- Use `enum class` for autoselection mode and a radio button to
represent the decision of Immediate/Never/Delayed.
- Handle delayed autoselect for vulcan ammo.
- Set Delayed_primary == Primary_weapon to indicate no change is needed,
rather than Delayed_primary==-1. This lets some paths use
Delayed_primary without checking for a magic value.
- Likewise Delayed_secondary / Secondary_weapon.
- Update Delayed_primary/Delayed_secondary when changing active
primary/secondary weapon, so that a player who changes weapons while
firing will automatically clear any deferred change.

Only respawn when the player presses a fire key/button (primary,
secondary, or flare). Only clear primary, second, flare, and bomb when
respawning. This allows dead players to use the automap or change their
camera views.
This is a necessary step to flushing only the firing inputs on respawn,
as requested by Mako88 in
<https://github.com/dxx-rebirth/dxx-rebirth/issues/104>. Currently,
inputs are flushed again by the activation of the game window, so
respawn still flushes all inputs.

Various users want automatic demo recording. Add new command line options:
-auto-record-demo start recording on level entry
-record-demo-format set demo name automatically
For -record-demo-format, specify a template containing any mix of strftime
insertions, variable insertions, and literal text. As a special case, specify
"." to use the builtin template "%Y%m%d.%H%M%S-$p-$m". Most users should use
".". Supported variables:
$p name of pilot recording the demo
$m name of msn/mn2 file played
Suggested by jeffersoncarpenter in https://github.com/dxx-rebirth/dxx-rebirth/pull/33, but implemented by vLKp.
