Echolocation fixes and changes

[prodirus]

About The Pull Request

Right now, when using echolocation, certain objects render out of order, overlaying things it shouldn't. For example, vents/scrubbers or disposal pipes. This could hide mobs/items. Hopefully this is gone!

In addition, currently, if the user has echolocate render duration multiplier any higher than 1, when dying, leaving the mob, and returning to body before/after a revival, the area around them is stuck as black square. This specific area stays a black square even after leaving the area and returning.

Mob/item rotation should now also properly update on each ping, rather than requiring a full screen clear (either by low enough cooldown/view duration, or by toggling it off and on)

It's not perfect, but better than what's there at the moment?

Why it's Good for the Game

Echolocators have less pain to deal with.

If this is a banger, we could push it up to Nova.

This will likely be obsoleted by the refactor upstream did. I'll close it when we upstream merge :D.
