mthing->angle is a signed short, and if ANG45 * mthing->angle/45 < 0, the
result of the right shift is sign extended.
afaik, an being 16bit in the dos version of doom, you'd endup with a
negative array offset, which would just access values from adjacent arrays
(finetangent[] for finecosine[], and finecosine[] for finesine[]), and it
would result in a misplaced teleport fog in some circumstances (fog is not
in front of the player on respawn, hence "silent teleport"). so, this fix is
bug incompatible, but this only affects live multiplay.
