Removed the function V_GetColorChar, which was only used to get the color code of a team, and replaced it with the function TEAM_GetTextColorName. This fixes a compatibility issue with printing team-related messages on the screen using custom colors.

 -	- Fixed a player's old body from being frozen and not finishing their animation when they become a dead spectator. [Kaminsky]
 -	- Fixed dead spectators not spawning where they died if sv_samespawnspot is enabled. [Kaminsky]
 -	- Fixed ACS scripts puked by the server RCON from using player 0 as the activator. [Kaminsky]
+-	- Fixed a compatibility issue with printing team-related messages on the screen using custom colors. [Kaminsky]
 !	- sv_forcegldefaults renamed to sv_forcevideodefaults. The old name still exists for compatibility. [Dusk]
 !	- r_3dfloors is now forced to be true when sv_forcevideodefaults is true. [Dusk]
 !	- When the wad authentication fails for a connecting client, the client only reports the missing and incompatible PWADS instead of all of them. [Pol Marcet]
