spectate system overhaul

• rip out and remake the entire page
• right now the spectator page is a mess, and hasn't been updated in a while
  • does not work properly, aside from the page being out of date
• the spectate page should use modules from the driver page
• there should be no such thing as a "spectate mode" on the driver page. If someone wants to spectate, they must go to the spectator page.

  • open
