Fix anticheat resetting client position after the client is teleported

Ekdohibs · paramat · commit d873545ac703 · 2017-02-01T15:03:57.000Z
Previously, m_move_pool could accomodate the client moving from the new position to the old one, and the server accepted the client to go back to its old position. However, it couldn't then accomodate the client moving from its old to its new position, and therefore would reset position to the old position. Thus, by emptying m_move_pool after a teleport, the server no longer accepts the client to go back to its old position. A drawback is however that a laggy client *will* trigger a few "moved_too_fast" anticheats before being told about its new position. Don't report player cheated if caused by lag. Fixes #5118
