Add more server features #119

Hello,

When connecting to a server, please add the ability to check who is connected to the server with a keystroke. Perhaps this could bring up a list of all players and give status info such as whether they are in a game or just waiting in the lobby. Additionally, this should tell you all the players connected, regardless of what mod they might be using. Currently, you are only told who is on the server when first connecting, and this information cannot be manually requested again. It also does not tell you there are other players connected even though they might be using different mods.

Here's another idea I came up with. In addition to the ability to list all active players and/or games, it should be possible to join any game currently in progress as a spectator by hitting enter on the game. This would work exactly as it does when you are defeated, I.E you can see the entire map and everything that's happening as it happens. It would also be great if players could choose to join a new game as spectators instead of players.
