By default it's off, but it's allow bot to scan graph directory, do a diff with a graph db server and upload every single graph file that do not exist in central database. This is done in a separate thread and do not block server process, and only once server/game is started, not on change level. Also, it's not working on currently started map.

refactor: rall the memory hooks moved into their one cpp file
task: normal: skip sniper node if no sniper weapon.
task: normal: don't walk if there are no enemies left and they are using knives.
task: attack: get proper function if bots lose close node after attack task.
nav: unnecessary codes cleared.
combat: attack movements reviewed.
bot: enemy hearing is now better. (thanks for the @spodlesniy idea)

bot: minor fixes and refactoring, including analyze suspend mistake (ref #441)
note: the master builds are now NOT production ready, please test before installing on real servers!
analyze: allow to disable goal marking
analyze: add cvars descriptions and bounds
nav: added optional post path smoothing for astar algorithm
nav: now bots will use Dijkstra algo instead of floyd-warshall if memory usage too high (controlled via yb_path_floyd_memory_limit cvar) (fixes#434)
nav: vistable are now calculated every frame to prevent game-freeze during loading the game (fixes#434)
graph: pracrice reworked to hash table so memory footprint is as low as possible (at cost 5-10% performance loss on practice) (fixes#434)
control: bots commands now is case-insensitive
bot: major refactoring of bot's code
nav: issue warnings about path fail only with debug
practice: check for visibility when updating danger index
analyzer: suspend any analyzing on change level
control: add kickall_ct/kickall_t
nav: increase blocked distance in stuck check
graph: reworked buckets so they can handle very large number of nodes
aim: bots should more respect headshot allow option (needs testing)
aim: incorporated never-finished changes from pr #204
nav: increased reachability timers a bit
nav: ensure buckets has enough nodes before use they
conf: introduced max recoil in difficulty config file
bot: overall fixes to jason mode, treat knife in hands and no weapons as jason mode too
bot: changed default difficulty level for bots to level 3
fix: knife attacks not working since last commit (fixes#429)
fix: hostage rescue not working since last commit (fixes#427)
refactor: use range loops for graph outside graph class when possible
aim: tweaked a bit grenade handling, so bots should use them more
aim: reduce time between selecting grenade and throwing it away
aim: removed hacks in look angles code, due to removing yb_whoose_your_daddy cvar
aim: use direct enemy origin from visibility check, and not re-calculate it
aim: update enemy prediction, so it now depends on frame interval for a bot
aim: additional height offset are tweaked, and now used only for difficulty 4
nav: tweaked a bit player avoidance code, and it's not preventing bot from checking terrain
nav: do not check banned nodes, when bucket sizes re too low
nav: cover nodes are now selected depending on total bots on server
nav: let bot enter pause task after long jump
nav: extend velocity by a little for a jump, like it was in first versions of bot
nav: stuck checking is now taken in account lower minimal speed if bot is ducking
fix: navigation reachability timers, so bots will have correct current node index while camping

fix: cover nodes are now calculated as they should
fix: manual calling bots add_[t/ct] now ignores yb_join_team cvar
bot: tweaked a little difficulty levels, so level 4 is now nightmare level, and 3 is very heard
bot: minor refactoring and moving functions to correct source file

fix: crash on some maps due to missing previous node
fix: finally removed memset(this) within bot creatin
this is done to prevent crashes in A* pathfinder when there is less than `max node links` nodes available to work with.
loading of such graphs was disabled sometime ago, and saving wasn't, my bad.
aim: fixed the distortion of angles while camping
add: special ladder handling (code merged from podbotmm)
graph: reworked some node coloring and link color
