CTE Update #6

Nothing like another CTE build to try and knock out the last remaining issues before moving 1032 to the main branch. Still a few things to track down, but it's getting there.

One big known issue in this build is you may randomly experience a double platform (vest) in the customization editor. We have not been able to find reproducible steps yet. Rest assured, that It will clear itself once you leave the customization menu and not be a problem during play.

Main Items:

EBR now has full auto (fire select animation has a hitch in it still)
Sound issues on Run Down reduced. (Still work in progress)
Various weapons not being usable due to invalid placement of default attachments fixed
Lots of issues with pouches and other kit items fixed
Updated IRStrobe model
Lasers now work properly
More customization menu icons added/redone
Night time maps should stay dark no matter what settings are changed
