Skip drawing frame to improve performance

• Now you can make the game skip the drawing by 1 frame every SkipFrameDelay when the frame rate is lower than the vanilla defined DetailMinFrameRateNormal. This helps alleviate the frame rate drop caused by drawing.
  • This logic only takes effect when SkipFrameDelay is greater than or equal to 2.

In RA2MD.INI:

[Phobos]
SkipFrameDelay=0  ; integer

Most interesting is how the frame skip will behave in multiplayer.

My tester said it works fine in MP.

What about to add feature to the yr-spawner and make a public test from yr beta branch?

This triggers alongside detail reduction, should add a separate key to enable this instead of relying on DetailMinFrameRateNormal - most mods set this to 0 as per Modenc recommendation, maybe FrameSkipThreshold? e.g. [AudioVisual] FrameSkipThreshold=36

edit: can confirm MP safe
