Crab Synth SNPC

Description
Two new crab synth snpcs, this time with working gatling gun.

+251 health.

+All damage dealt to crab synth is scaled down to 0.01 (straight beta behavior)

+Special attack: Charge attack towards enemy (directly looks at enemy, starts sprinting, 150 dmg if hits, reattacks in 20 secs).

+Custom crab synth sounds.

+No other NPC base dependencies, utilizes default AI

+Long sight range

+New by 2023: More melee attacks

In order to deal high damage, lob under the crab synth some grenades or rockets.

Console variables to control NPC stats:

sk_crabsynth_health_2: Sets the initial health of Crab Synth. (default 251)
sk_crabsynth_dmg_minigun: Damage dealt by Crab synth's gatling gun, per bullet. (default 4)
sk_crabsynth_dmg_charge: Damage dealt by Crab synth's charge attack. (default 150)

Developer commands:
crabsynth_min_retreat_after_numshots: Crabsynth can undeploy the gatling gun only after firing given amount of bullets. (might be obsolete, will function later) (default 100)
g_debug_crabsynth_tracer: Draws two white lines, displaying where the crab synth will fire its bullets and where it will end, and where the gatling gun is actually aiming at.

Also Also, the ragdoll doesn't seem to have collision and cannot be grabbed by the physics gun.

Not really sure if you're still updating this... or if you're even reading this, but there seems to be an oddity in MK2's model, like some kind of weird stretched polygons on its left front leg.

Also, I'm not really sure if this is intentional or not, but the model seems to have no reflectivity (unlike other combine NPC's, like a strider), only shaders. Again, not sure if this is on purpose, just saying.

Attempting to spawn in the crabsynth using automatic spawns seems to have an issue with the model.

If you ever do end up updating this again, I think the intended way it works is that you're supposed to damage it's underbelly with grenades, especially taking the animations in consideration. Not saying to make it invulnerable to bullets, but that 'bodythrow' animation or whatever it's called can be used for that, like a stun.

examining the repo, and the crabsynth right now. thanks for informing.
