[GAMEPLAY] Add weapon auto-switch on ammo running out

If weapon runs out of ammo, and that you shoot one time while there's no ammo, it's a common usage to auto-switch to the previous/next weapon you have (in quake games mostly).

Teeworlds doesn't have many weapons, and it's gameplay is less messy (one bullet for one action) than ninslash's one.
That's why it doesn't need an auto-switch option (imo).

But in Ninslash, you run out of ammo quickly without noticing it but you have lots of weapons to continue a fight, and there are so much visual effects that it is way harder to distinct it when you run out of ammo. That's why I think it's a necessity to have an auto-switch option (imo).

P.S : I think auto-switch should be an option set to "true" by default, probably located in "general settings".

P.P.S : I say that as a long-time teeworlds player, and as someone that plays to Ninslash frequently too.

This has been proposed before, and it's definitely worth trying out.

Android version has this feature, I'll submit a patch when I'll have some free time.

@pelya : is it actually an option accessible into HUD ?
