Removed the notice about player corpses not finishing their animation when the player becomes a spectator. This is no longer an issue in 3.1.

 ==Usage==
-Turns a player that is alive into a dead spectator or vice versa.  This function will only effect Dead Spectators or players that are alive, not True Spectators.  If sv_DeadPlayersCanKeepInventory is set, the Dead Spectator will be resurrected with the inventory he had before he died.  If sv_SameSpawnSpot is set and you are using Zandronum 3.1 the Dead Spectator will be resurrected at his current location.

-Note: When a player is set as spectator, they're disassociated from the corpse entirely. This means that, if called when the player is killed, it will not finish their corpse animation. A workaround for this is to remove the corpse and spawn a dummy actor in its place that just plays the same animation.
