[cod] COD4 players can enable cheats via cvars without RCON password

[Christopher Simmons]

The only other option I can come up with is to create a mod to fix the
problem

In the _callbacksetup.gsc file (maps/mp/gametypes), create a thread that
runs as the user connects. Inside the tread create an infinite loop that
continually changes the required dvars by using the following function:

self SetClientDvars( "cg_drawhud", "0", "cg_draw2d", "0", ... );

I will work on this mod to see if I can get it working. No promises though.
