(svn r2106) -Fix: improved the network-join algoritm, it is now a bit more stable

-Add: added 'pause_on_join' and 'max_join_time' for MP games, where you 
can auto-pause the game when a client wants to join the game. This to 
avoid connection losses because of big maps (200+ trains). (with tnx to 
#openttdcoop for the ideas and testing)
