Remove the CVAR_ROM flag from single player states

I think it's cleaner to remove the ROM flag from the single player states. This
is a cheap in-game security feature that could always be circumvented by
changing the values in the config file.

Absolutely the best way. Unfortunately it is not possible. There might be
hundreds of mods relying on the old behavior including vanilla Q3 and that
cannot be changed.

That'd mean the original changes would have to be undone. I tried a handful of
mods and couldn't produce problems.

If at all it only should affect single player mods. I tested none of these.
