checking if game is paused from zscript?

Would it be possible to have (at least readonly) access to the paused variable? I don't think it should be much of an issue to do this.

I can easily do this myself but first I need to ask if it'd be right to expose it.

This variable is game sync'd, so it should be possible to have readonly access from all contexts.

Should only "paused" be exposed, or also "pauseext" (what does the latter even do anyway? I don't really understand its purpose)?

Got a PR here. Better late then never, I guess?

As far as I understand, pauseext is a flag that is used to suspend the game when it loses focus. Since the entire game is suspended, I don't think it would make sense exposing it to user code. However, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Player701: No, you're right, that doesn't seem like it has any business with mods. Good work. :)
