Mortar Shell entity

Entity defined in entities/entities/combine_mortar_shell.lua

Defines the combine_mortar_shell entity (print name Mortar Shell), a shell that falls straight down trailing smoke and explodes on impact.

Its spawn function places it just under the ceiling or skybox above the aimed position. On the server it moves down every tick and, once a hull trace below it hits something, creates an env_explosion with magnitude 200 and radius 460, shakes nearby screens and removes itself. On the client it draws glowing sprites on its tail.
