Summary0022313: Multiplayer: Make ship death propagate from any source (clients or hosts).
DescriptionNormally the host is the authority against which we're checking things and correcting any desyncs. But if things get so off that a ship dies on a client without dying on the host and/or other clients, then the simplest thing by far is going to be to just kill that unit on all the clients and the host.

There should be very few cases where this causes a big problem, and if it does cause a problem then we can later implement 0021436 instead. But 0021436 is likely to be a huge source of bugs over a really long period of time, whereas this new approach is by far the path of least resistance to getting a state of sync between the clients and host.
