Previously, there was no way to know which player executed a script.
References to entries under a `SquirrelEnvironment` table in `sector.triggers.{trigger_object}.{name_of_reference}` are now supported. For example, a reference to the player who has triggered a script trigger, can be found under `sector.triggers.{script_trigger_name}.Tux`.
References to the player who has activated a script are supported in `PushButton`, `ScriptedObject` hit script, `ScriptTrigger` and `Switch`.
An idea for the future would be to provide such player reference from `BadGuy` death scripts as well.
