Disables auto-punctuation for emotes

[rbertoche]

After a while playing without emotes on frontier-pt I noticed some emotes in English would still work.

Having a period at the end of emote messages prevented a lot of emotes from triggering a sound effect, because they have to match the message exactly for it to work.

Instead of making sure each and every emote has a . and ! replicate, I removed the auto punctuation for emotes.

Emotes are usually not full sentences so the period on them probably won't be missed a lot. They don't express what people are saying, so it's less likely the lack of a period impacts on meaning, attitude, tone or rhythm.

Before we consider this, have you looked at upstream code around this area before?
Since there been changes done to emotes and net talk that we will carry here anyway.

Also please use the PR submit format, and can you add an example of what its doing in game to talking?
Is this effecting radio? nettalk? wispers? etc.

Basically, currently frontier has auto punctuation cvar enabled by default, which simply breaks most emotes which don't have a corresponding hardcoded replacement containing a dot at the end.
I don't think I have a screenshot of that though. You simply say @yell and it fails after auto punctuation is applied because there is no replacement for "yell." declared.
I have no idea what upstream is doing chat wise, I usually mostly only read their code when I am merging or after I merge it. This is not meant to replace their code or actually be a fork, unless they don't fix the issue upstream.
The idea was, emotes were broken in current frontier when you build and run locally, it's an easy fix, so I made a PR.

This only affects emotes. Emotes are no longer affected by auto punctuation. Sorry, I thought my descriptions were enough to make it clear what is happening. I simply made emotes bypass auto punctiation.

If the changes to net talk you are referring to are acronyms replacements such as omg -> oh my god, without a sound effect, they are already present on current frontier and don't conflict or bring any issues.

This update made it super hard to support DeltaV emotes as every single time we match them up we are getting issues with it, reverted.
