gmod_toolno longer errors with addon tools in non-Sandbox gamemodes- Also includes the SourceTV/HLTV crash fix, vehicle regression fix, bone cache fixes, zombie double ragdoll fix and the spawnmenu/Infected/npc_alyx fixes from main
surface.DrawTexturedRectUV stops applying sub-pixel UV adjustment
Commit 6a75b6 on main makes surface.DrawTexturedRectUV ignore the "sub pixel adjustment" of UVs so its UV arguments work as expected; only the Lua binding is affected.

surface.DrawTexturedRectUV - Refined DImage subrect support and KeepAspect features
- Removed a leftover debug panel from the Paint tool; its icons keep aspect
- Minor cleanups
