Fixed UI tooltips so that they display correctly on first hover

Updated the multiplayer options UI so that it offers more options for configuring the crosshair.
Added option for center dot to crosshair.
When dynamic crosshair is disabled, the crosshair is now completely static.
Fixed mipmaps for default avatars and made CT and T look more unique
Fixed positioning of hud_targetid; it now is correctly visible in wide screen aspect ratios and when spectating
Major Test Feature. Added a debug flag for showing the current weapon accuracy spread. This flag (weapon_debug_spread_show) is on by default
