`-fastdemo` doesn't work with `-skipsec`

[MrAlaux]

Tested in the latest master artifact (x64).

If I play a demo through -fastdemo, it works as expected: the demo plays back as fast as possible. However, if I throw -skipsec into the mix, the demo will skip the specified time but then resume at normal speed, as if ignoring -fastdemo.

-timedemo seems to be unaffected.

Does it make a difference if you use the -warp parameter to skip to a specific map in the demo?

Looks like this fixes it:

I had to move the variable declaration because the setup tool links in i_timer.c but not g_game.c.

I think we can fix it elsewhere. I'll look into it, just got carried away with the DRS experiment 😄

Using -warp disables fast playback too. I'll try the PR.
