Implemented OTA-only Command chat

[Dej]

Basically what we have right now is /c for Dispatch messages to both CP and OTA, but at times when issuing directives to either might cause confusion, additionally, you might want to issue directives to OTA only so as to not clog up the chat for CP's.

This suggestion is basically add a sort of command message but only OTA can see it for Dispatchers.

Most of the Times Dispatch should refrain from commanding Soldier, but I am pretty sure - they got the /d channel or the OTA-TAC channel to communicate. But for you - It isn't really important, say Stabilization Teams and everything is fine, because when something is commanding OTA, that would be the AI and you are only a scanner

Im aware of all of this and I probably phrased the original suggestion wrong but thats not entirely my point. /d is an ooc chat only and speaking on OTA-Tac reveals your scanner name. Im aware that scanner players shouldnt be outright commanding OTA but my point here is how messages to them are represented. For example: CP's expect to receive messages from Dispatch in the form of a red coloured command text instead of the specific scanner name showing up radioing in Tac-3. Its a relatively low priority suggestion that really I think would only serve immersion better.

Again, the thing Im looking for is a command that sends out messages like the /c command does but is only readable by OTA. Im also aware that there is another command that now represents the Overwatch AI, but this is restricted to disp faction leads and only will come into effect during Code Red/Black and can be seen by both CP and OTA.

This suggestion is more for the ic immersion if anything and is understandable if devs do not think this is feasible or important enough to add.
