Updated item_teamflag with flags to toggle the trail effects: 0 none, 1 all, 2 paper only, 3 color only

Added a "both" selection to the invalid winners field for team_control_point_master and team_control_point_round entities

An easy temporary fix for the particle glitch that you can do yourself is add particle.txt files for every default map.
