Entity "info_player_deathmatch" should never be removed

[dyn]

Alternatively you can omit removing "info_player_deathmatch" when
gametype is not >= CTF. It makes no sense removing
"info_player_deathmatch" for ALL team games and then searching for
team spawn spots only when gametype is >= CTF, leaving TDM with no
spawn spots.
