Rework death messages

MPHit does not always fire when a player is killed:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Event_Handlers#MPHit

Using either MPHit or MPKilled is not a good idea here. There is already
a local 'killed' event handler which fires on player death
(player_death.sqf). That script sends a PV (priority message) to the
server which triggers server_playerDied. That means fnc_plyrHit needed
to finish sending its data to the server via public setVariables
(non-priority messages) before server_playerDied executed. Triggering
both these scripts at the same time was a bad idea.

Instead of sending the data to the server via setVariable I just
included it in PVDZ_plr_Death. This also lets us pass extra information
from the damage handler like ammo type, cause of death, etc. Still need
to test, but it should be more reliable and performant than
fnc_playerHit called from MPHit or MPKilled.
