Build 165 changelog

Changes

* Fixed bug where logging into the command station would mess up player's weapons when logged out
* Updated infestation building sound to not be looping to reduce/fix out of channels problem
* Disabled distress beacon until it works without spawning people in stuck
* Fixed bug where looping sounds weren't destroyed when entities were destroyed
* All parented sounds and particles for all Actors are now destroyed when they are
* Fixed bug where armory arms opened on the wrong side (due to new random rotation of structures)
* Mask alien players' names from marines while gestating. This way, aliens can take advantage of the "camouflage" in the hive provided by all the other eggs (thanks Skyler!)
* Improvements and tweaks for all alien heal effects
* Added s_stats console command to display sound system statistics
* Added parasite animation and effect
* Added a tooltip for failing to place infestation as a Gorge
* Constrained the Gorge move velocity if building (used to work and then stopped for some reason)
* Added some tooltips to HydraAbility for failing to build Hydra
* Added additional profiling sections for particle related functions
* Increased infestation health from 250 to 500 to make currently slow-growing infestation from being wiped out too easily (especially at the hive)
* Fixed bug where Observatory could scan when it wasn't powered
* New pistol sounds
* Tweaks and iterations to guns and explosions (rifle, grenade launcher, shotgun)
* Parasite on power point goes away when power point destroyed
* Added back in marine/rifle/end
* Increased the amount of time the give damage indicator is visible from 0.25 to 1 second
