GetPlayerName
The player’s name, as they joined.
Names are not unique: two players may join under one name, and their pids tell them apart (a mode that wants one player
per name turns the second away in OnPlayerConnect). A name is 1-24 characters: Latin letters (the accented
ones too) or Cyrillic letters - one alphabet per name, the first letter’s, so a name cannot mix look-alike letters of
both - digits, spaces and _-.[](); anything else is left out when the player joins. The server takes a name from whoever types it and proves
nothing: a mode that wants a name to belong to someone builds accounts on its database. nil when no
player has the pid.
