  1. Fix tearing in short-lived dynamic lights at high FPS 

    The tearing occurred because the dynamic light was shown for a single frame,
but when running above the monitor refresh rate, less than a single frame
was actually visible on screen. Even when V-Sync was used, the dynamic
light was visible for a very small portion of time on screen depending
on the monitor refresh rate.

The fix works by ensuring each dynamic light is visible for at least 32 milliseconds,
which roughly matches the appearance of dynamic lights as they were in
vanilla Quake 2 on period-appropriate hardware (running at 30-35 FPS).

This uses the same fix as Yamagi Quake 2.
