Fix

The input fix for the VGUI panel is poorly explained and doesn't address the real issue. I actually had to look at the revision history to see why the fix was needed at all before I could explore it further. The real problem is that CInput::ExtraMouseSample uses a dummy CUserCmd structure that only updates the mouse elements, but leaves the keyboard elements uninitialized at 0. So when g_pClientMode->CreateMove() is called near the end of the function it calls C_BasePlayer::DetermineVguiInputMode() with the bad input. This further explains why this function would be called 4 or 5 times, since it's the engine requesting extra mouse samples.
