Comp kv setter

comp_kv_setter is an internal point entity available in Strata Source and TeamSpen's Hammer Addons.

It sets a keyvalue on an entity to a new value. This can be used in cases to compute spawnflags, or to adjust keyvalues when the target entity's options cannot be set to a fixup variable.
