Release bot slots immediately

Confirmed, also happens in stock Q3. The cause? A timing issue.

After a kick, the player slot is marked as CS_ZOMBIE and let to linger for
sv_zombietime seconds before it is reused. This makes sense for real players
because, thanks to latency, they won't immediately stop sending packets after a
disconnect. All this doesn't apply to bots however: they're gone immediately
after a kick and the server may safely reuse their slots.

And that is precisely what this patch does. =)
