Summary0021436: Multiplayer: Make ship death scheduled.
DescriptionOne of the hardest things with desync-repair is going to be if a ship dies on a client and then we're trying to fix sync with it with the host that thinks it is still alive. For that reason among some others, we need to make it so that when a ship dies, it doesn't just get removed from the game right away. It should sit invisible and dead until the host generates a "this thing should now die and disappear for all of us" gamecommand that syncs things up.

Assuming that such a command does NOT arrive for a client that thinks it has a dead unit on its hand, then the natural desync-repair process (detailed elsewhere) will come along and bring the unit back to life with minimal fuss.

Note that we don't need to do this for shots or OtherEntities, because shots are not something that last long enough to worry about desyncs with, and OtherEntities are just wormholes that also should not possibly be able to desync since they don't change during gameplay.
