Bug fixes and improvements

• When you used the Construction Specialty configuration with a controller, the traps were sometimes placed in the middle of a square, not against a wall.

• The elimination log will no longer indicate that a player has been eliminated by an ally if that ally has interrupted the player's recovery animation.
• After being propelled by a pirate gun, you could suffer fall damage using the back reactor (in the temporary modes concerned).
