Added the action key. #213

I'm imagining using the action key to maybe enter vehicles, open doors, push buttons, pull levers etc. Since there was an empty bit in the input byte, I decided to put it there for simplicity's sake. Maybe some actions don't need to be sent so often but I thought it would be overkill to make a new packet just for this.

I don't think "action"/"use" really needs to be sent over the network. Anything that wanted to use this could be done client-side and a new interact packet sent with information on what was interacted with or something. It also seems extra useless since the server doesn't necessarily know exactly where you're looking when you click the button (I believe) and there is no lag compensation stuff in place either, meaning pressing "action" on moving entities would fail a lot if done server-side.
