While the existing code prevents people from changing teams to get around the build timer, they still do it to get out of basi grabs, the /kill timer, and other such nonsense.
Proposed patch prevents users from switching teams more often than every 30 seconds, unless they have the forceteamchange flag. This supersedes all the buildtimer exploit code because the max buildtimer for any building is also 30 seconds, so I removed it.

I sometimes join the wrong team at the start of each round.
Does this patch take into account if you spawn or not? If it doesn't perhaps it should.

Re: Cadynum: It took a few minutes, I thought of a trivially easy way to allow that, so okay. With this change the limit only applies if you have been alive for at least one second during any part of the round. :)
I suggest that instead of disallowing rapid team changes, we simply make it unprofitable. I think if credits were awarded for someone leaving a team as if they'd died, the irritating exploits would be rendered largely useless.

Committed at r2103. Benmachine was subsequently persuaded.
