Summary: More informative kill messages

Initial Comment:
Hey,
        Been playing bzflag for a few days, and i
noticed a lack of 'cool' messages about you getting
killed, so I added some, the message you get depends on
what kind of flag that the killerPlayer has.

        As a second thing, it might be worthwile to add
an easy way to colorise parts of a message, so you can
get rid of the (X team) part of the message, so you
would colorize the player names according to the team
they are on

shouldn't be bad... i think

shotId gets unpacked from message

const ShotPath* shot = killerPlayer->getShot(int(shotId));
shot->getFlag();

Problem is, you really need to get flagid from the shot, 
not from the player directly. The player's flag could have 
been changed by the time you get hit.
