Slight Chainsaw Rework

Description
A slight rework to how the chainsaw works which probably makes it very OP.
The long deploy animation where the survivors start the chainsaw now only plays the first time you pick it up, each subsequent time you pull it out it'll play a shorter deploy animation that is the same length as other melee weapons.
Once the chainsaw runs out of 'fuel' the survivor will play a restarting animation even if you switch from and then back to the chainsaw. During the restart animation (and long deploy) you are unable to shove.
To maybe~ balance it out the chainsaw's default 'clip' of 30 has been reduced to just 7. The chainsaw's damage is reduced and the damage resistance with it out has been removed. However it now attacks faster and doesn't draw commons from as far away.

Since this has to feature some custom animations this also replaces the chainsaw viewmodel, works with custom worldmodels though.
Settings file at ems/ChainsawRework/Settings.cfg

ok i added a settings file to this now, one of the settings allows you to press R to refuel whenever you want.

@D.Toshimura
this does not work with custom models

does it work for mod Doom 3 Chainsaw? it faster than other chainsaw skins

Currently, the fuel has been reduced to 7 seconds. Pressing R restores the remaining fuel to 7 seconds, which I personally think isn't too overpowered, or you could adjust the maximum fuel to 5 seconds. The current mod actually allows you to resupply before facing zombies; you just have to manually deplete the fuel and then let it automatically pull the rope to refill, but that’s a bit tedious. It's much better to press R to refuel manually, which is quicker, gives more control, and feels more realistic. Also, when facing a horde of infected, especially on expert difficulty, it’s not absolutely invincible. When the limited fuel isn't enough to deal with a group of zombies, you need to consider finding a safe spot to press R and refuel, which adds more strategy and interactivity, and doesn’t make the game boring. Still, even now, it’s already a great mod.:steamhappy:

i did consider that, but then it would lead to players refueling while theres no zombies around which would remove all the risk of having to refuel and thats kinda lame
