Control random pitch variation

Normally the random pitch thing is excellent, but there are exceptions. I have a siren sound effect that is played a few times in a row and being a different tone each time makes it sound weird. An optional integer could be added to the end of the ambient sound commands in ACS (for compatibility w/ old wads). If non-zero, the random pitch thing is disabled.

[local]ambientsound(str name, int volume, opt int random pitch off);

I can't check the syntax ATM because I'm not at home, but I'm pretty sure there is already a pitchshift (or something like that) variable that can be set on a per-sound basis in sndinfo.

Sweet, I seem to have forgot about $pitchshiftrange since it's not currently in my sndinfo. Just checked SNDINFO in the wiki.

After all those threads I made I STILL don't know why it isn't working
