Backface culling: Ignore setting in tiledef from old servers.
Outdated servers are always sending tiledefs with culling enabled no matter what, as the value was previously entirely ignored. To compensate, we must (1) detect that we're running against an old server with a new client, and (2) disable culling for mesh, plantlike, firelike and liquid draw types no matter what the server is telling us. In order to achieve this, we need to bump the protocol version since we cannot rely on the tiledef version, and test for it being older. I've bumped the protocol version, although that should have likely happened in the actual change that introduced the new backface_culling PR #3578. Fortunately that's only 2 commits back at this point. We also explicitly test for the drawtype to assure we are not changing the culling value for other nodes, where it should remain enabled. This was tested against various pub servers, including 0.4.13 and 0.4.12. Fixes #3598
