AlliedModders - [L4D1 & L4D2] Healing Distance Exploit Fix [v1.0.2

Description

Resets the healing progress bar when the healer distance exceeds the maximum allowed. (96, defined by the player_use_radius cvar)

Exploit often done in the finale chapter of L4D2 Parish (c5m5_bridge) by griefers, which don't let their survivor teammates climb the ladders, causing them to fall and get stuck for a while, until the progress bar is cancelled or completed.

Also fixes a bug where it is possible to keep healing a teammate even after the target is punched by a Tank and goes beyond the healing radius.

Steps to Reproduce

Notes

The radius check still isn't 100% accurate according to the game core logic, because it does several checks, but is better than vanilla behavior. (search for: CBasePlayer::FindUseEntity())
