0000036: CHAT -> TEAMCHAT in server console

Notes
(0022424) WaTaKiD (updater) 2022-10-02 19:51	reopened after brief discussion, ill copy paste a bit "to me it just kinda makes sense when looking at the good ol windows server console for the different team chats to be correctly marked like this is 3 players using team chat in the 3.2 beta: [12:09:22] CHAT [12:09:22] Player 3845: red team chat [12:09:27] CHAT [12:09:27] Player 2435: spec team chat [12:09:31] CHAT [12:09:31] WaTaKiD: blue team chat" while zan currently only supports 4 teams, not including spectators, eventually there could be much more atleast according to 'https://zdoom.org/wiki/TEAMINFO [^]' so i guess future proofing would be something to keep in mind

(0022428) Kaminsky (developer) 2022-10-02 23:03	To summarize what we just discussed in the dev meeting, having some way of differentiating global and team chat messages in the server console and logfile sounds reasonable. It's possible that we can also implement a new CVar (e.g. "sv_logfileteamappend") that controls how team chat messages are displayed: 0: Show the team's name (e.g. CHAT<BLUE>). 1: Show the team's index (e.g. CHAT<TEAM #1>). Server hosts will then have the option to choose how to display these kinds of messages as they wish.

(0022534) Kaminsky (developer) 2022-12-18 17:15	This commit adds the "sv_distinguishteamchatlines" CVar:'https://osdn.net/projects/zandronum/scm/hg/zandronum-stable/commits/8836885fd4326030f5113b39a2f41918620e6e8f [^]' - If 0 (by default), team chat messages appear like normal chat messages. - If set to 1, it shows the player's team (e.g. "<BLUE> Player: Hi."). - If greater than 1, it shows the team's number starting from 1 (e.g. "<TEAM #1> Player: Hi."). This is a useful option in case team's have incredibly long names. This also works independently from sv_markchatlines, so team chat messages can always be distinguished even when chat lines aren't marked in the console/logfile.

(0022948) Ru5tK1ng (updater) 2024-01-01 01:46	Tested with r231220. Ran a server with sv_distinguishteamchatlines set to 0, 1, and 2 at various times. The logfile reflected the cvar change properly and appended the team info without issue.
