Auto pause server when NN % of clients are catching up

It's nice to see a server config option to pause the server when there are no clients. But it isn't enough.

The server should automatically pause when NN % of the players are catching up. After a certain amount of players are behind, it's just annoying for everyone to run towards a moving goal post.

The default value is certainly a matter up for debate. But it will never be wrong to have it as 100 %, because when everyone is catching up, nobody benefits from the server running ahead of the clients.
