Merge 2096c3c3cc into 17362b2ea6

* Client synchronization improvements

* Remove bad comment

* Remove guard on PC_TICK

* Fix delayed loading of nano skill icons

We actually don't need to wait for post-load to do the second nano book send.
That adds unnecessary delay. Moving it to right after `P_FE2CL_REP_PC_ENTER_SUCC`
does the trick and gives the client plenty of time to fetch the icons before
loading in-game.

* Don't send unnecessary nano book subsets pre-enter

* Fix comment
