Impulse is a generic client-side console command that is used to send commands to the server without modifying the usercmd.

The advantage is that new commands can be added without compatibility-breaking networking changes; the disadvantage is that only one impulse can be sent at a time, and that the commands themselves are non-descriptive.

Confirm:Impulses are not predicted.
