Death gate: a destroyed mech takes no pilot input (ghost-drive fix)

Browse Source 
User report from 2-window play: after dying, the pilot could still steer the
wreck around invisibly.  Zero throttle/turn/fire and the forced harnesses at
the gBTDrive source when IsMechDestroyed() -- deliberately INPUT-only, so the
gait/animation machinery keeps running and the death collapse plays out.

Also recorded in the KB: the killer's screen shows the wreck SWAP but not the
death SINK (needs the Mech-level death/knockdown update records, disasm
preserved from task #51), and the respawn-cycle scouting (type-12 intro
scripts are binary ref-records; adrop; DropZone + Mech::Reset machinery) for
the recovery-whirlwind reconstruction (task #52).
