Summary: Dead reckoning on MsgShotBegin

Initial Comment:
Hi,
This patch updates a tank position when we receive the 
MsgShotBegin message.
It assumes our predicted Azimuth is correct to compute 
the tank's position from the shot position.
As far as I could see, it makes the lag much much 
easier to cope with.

Fixed shockwave bug by calculating position differently for
this flag. Patch attached.

Note: This patch only updated the tank's position. It's
heading could also be calculated from the firinginfo. In
theory, even the tank's speed could be calculated for normal
shots. I don't know if it's woth the hassle, though. The
angular velocity is the one thing that we get no direct hint
for.

I haven't tried it yet, but I think it's a good idea. It
needs a check for shockwave, though. I would assume that the
current code calculates a wrogn position for a shockwaving
tank because the shockwave does not originate from the
muzzle but from the tank's center.
