[quake3] changing the default value for cl_allowDownload to make people play other/newer maps

Hi,
most OA (and Q3) players don't even know what downloading is. Don't
dispute that.

I had a server with new maps running for quite some time now and ppl
press faster ESC when they start to download than they shoot or they
don't have download enabled at all.

Also telling ppl to download and install the maps themselves is in 99.9%
a waste of time.

So, that we can have sufficient noobs on new maps I'd like to recommend,
no, DEMAND(!) that the default bitmask value *) for cl_allowDownload may
be set to 9 or 13.

Thank you (in the name of everyone who spend time creating a new map).

Dirk
