[MOD 0.16] Horns - honking for cars

[TaxiService]

.

Description

This mod adds horns to cars and tanks. Pictures don't help much in this case, so here is a short video showcasing the mod's features.

Both vehicles have their own set of two sounds, a shorter one and a longer one, which can be bound to different keys. ("H" and "SHIFT+H" by default)
Honking also attracts enemies in a 60 tiles range from the user. This range can be tweaked in-game via the per-user mod options. (Note: biters normally attack when within 30 tiles from you)
Likewise, the enemy attraction mechanic can be disabled altogether.
If you feel the horns are too loud or quiet, there's a volume multiplier on line 1 in data.lua (default is 1.2)

Enable sound in this webm to hear a preview of the horns themselves.

Note: I chose to use the horn of a lorry for the tanks despite the fact that tank horns IRL are sort of weak-sounding or not a thing at all. I believe it fits more.

Planned features

• volume multiplier option in per-player settings
• conditions for modded vehicles (currently they should all default to the car's honk, i would like to set some "heavier" vehicles to have the tank sound)
• (for the far future and if willing) additional sound sets and a way for users to choose which one to use

To do:
- understand why biters stop briefly when honking repeatedly and if it has negative implications in multiplayer
- test in multiplayer and optimization of code, if necessary
- put everything on github...
