Misc
- Minor performance optimization for some CPU-bound cases.
- Follow recoil setting during spectating will now obey spectator target's crosshair setting if target's crosshair is shown.
- Added support for updating existing map annotations on Steam Workshop. For example use "workshop_annotation_submit 123456" to update your submission ID=123456 found in the workshop URL. Passing an ID that does not belong to you will create a brand new submission. After the first update the ID will get embedded in the annotation file and you can submit more changes without having to provide the ID again.
