IRC Chat team prefixes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This would be pretty cool.
What it would do is change the chat team prefix, if the player is an admin.

For example, if a player were an admin on the human team, their chat team 
prefix would be
[^6@^3H^7], that is, magenta @ with a yellow H

This would add a magenta @ in front of the team letter in chat team 
prefixes.

What this is for is for players to identify when an admin is talking, so 
they can possibly pay more attention to the message.

It would be cvar and flag controlled.
Cvar
g_chatAdminPrefix
The symbol only appears if g_chatTeamPrefix is on. So if chatTeamPrefix is 
off, but adminPrefix was on, nothing would show up. Unless you would be 
willing to code 4 different contitionals.

Flag would be & (ampersand).
This flag is currently free. Admins without the flag would not get the @ 
symbol.

An alternative we could do is voice and oper, but that would be fairly 
complex. Voice and oper would use 2 characters, + for voice and @ for 
oper. The flags could be V and O (both free also). If you feel like coding 
this up, that would be cool, but extra. Color would still be 6 (magenta)

added the cvar, the cvar controls what is put before the name(like ^3@ for a 
yellow @)

add a & flag to the admins that want the IRC flag
