Features

Further adjustments to the visibility system introduced in 2.39.0:
- Commander visibility tweak: Commanders can now see entities within 5000 units of any friendly player, regardless of spotting status. (Also fixes an issue that caused some entities to be hidden from the commander.)
- Dead player visibility restored: Visibility for dead players has been reverted to the previous behavior, allowing them to see nearby entities. Entities that are visible only to the dead player are not shared to teammates.
- The mini-map is now disabled for the unassigned team.
