Permanently Disable Client-Side Spectator HUD

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's kind of annoying to do !spechud so often; it would be nice if there was a 
way for me to have it be disabled by default on my client.

Maybe if there was a variable that was set when you did !spechud which confogl 
then read, someone who wants it permanently disabled could set that variable in 
their autoexec.  Just throwing out ideas.

I believe we can do something like this with client cookies:

But I don't know much about them.

Suggestion: Use setinfo instead of client cookies.

{{{
    decl String:buffer[64];
    GetClientInfo(client, "confogl_showspechud", buffer, sizeof(buffer));
    StripQuotes(buffer);
    TrimString(buffer);

    g_bShowHud[client] = bool:StringToInt(buffer);
}}}

That way the client can put setinfo "confogl_showspechud" "0" in their autoexec 
config if they wish to always play with disabled spechud.
