About the pull request

when the last xeno dies, there's a THREE MINUTE DELAY BEFORE THE ROUND ENDS.
and when the round ends there's even more waiting for the server to restart
this PR cuts down the delay for roundend from 3 minutes to 1 minute

Explain why it's good for the game

Waiting to play again (if you're a xeno) or standing around (if you're a marine) isn't really fun.

That was on purpose IIRC to give people time for RP closure. The round goes on whether there's xenos or not. If you're just "standing around", you're indeed missing the point

That being said 3 minutes does sometimes feel pretty long...

3 minutes is very useful for giving medals

it doesn't need to be 3 whole minutes, though. during the final hunt for a xeno there's plenty of time for command to begin writing medals. one minute should be fine for medal writing.

half (or more) of the players are waiting in deadchat for

final xeno to die
ares scan
the next 5 minutes of roundend and voting for maps

Waiting really isn't that fun.

this is not unintentional, the only change that can be done to this value is to make it be held in server config instead so it can be changed by server operators
