New warnings system

[GoogleCodeExporter]

attached is the patch of something i brought up in another issue

it doesn't take out g_adminsprintf it is still in there and should stay for
general admin warnings.

g_warningsprintf is the new one all the bans have been transferred to this
command.

syntax is 
g_warningsprintf( 'b', "banned player x");
where b is the flag and banned player x is the message.
this will show 
(WARNING): banned player x
feel free to change the colors etc ATM the brackets are purple and the
warning is yellow

this in the long run should come in handy and i am sure you can see the
benefit of this keeping information to admins who can do something about it
(like ban warnings for admins with !ban etc)

2 minutes to code and a 2 min test period so you might want to test it a
little longer but it works well.

is that normal for that broadcast print when changing flags that's the only
issue i see. but i didn't try flag with an untampered qvm also with rcon (i
dont think its from me - doubt many ppl use flag with rcon)

I dont exactly understand what this does.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

all it does is show the messages to whoever has the flag you program the code 
for

say you make a new command and use R as a flag

then all warnings and messages about that can be just for that flag

g_warningsprintf( 'R', "Warning message");

then only people with that R flag get the warning it essentially hides the 
warnings
for people w/out that command

That is brilliant.
