Map fixes of Half Life 2 and Episodes for Synergy Mod

Installation

Synergy 56.16:

Simply place folders with files in synergy directory, for example: Steam\steamapps\common\Synergy\synergy\

Synergy 20.xx (development and twitch branch):

Place folders with files in custom directory, for example: Synergy\synergy\custom\thisedit\

The folder thisedit can be named anything, it is just a container folder.
After placing edt files you need to restart your server if it was already running and set content_mount_synergy_mod_path_priority 0 for the EDTs to apply.

Changes

All files were imported from Synergy version 56.16 and here is changes:

Changes over all maps (or almost all):

- Increased vehicle spawns for more players
- Damage players on vehicle spawn places who blocks spawning
- Vitage mode fixes
