Change the audio curve with the hearing range adjustment

[towneh]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hearing range provides a abrupt cut-off, where you do not receive the audio packets for a user, but this can be jarring and doesn't gracefully reduce the volume of users before hitting the cut-off.
Also there is no system currently in-game to change the hearing range drop-off volume curve.

Describe your preferred solution

1. Implement a mechanism to drop-off the audio volume of players that moves with the Hearing range adjustment.
2. Allow users to adjust the drop-off bias before the Hearing range cut-off, so they can choose to make a conversation in a group of players quieter or louder as desired.

Describe any considered alternatives

Can't think of it.

audio drops off based on the range distance now

The need for this feature was especially clear after today's test. It was extremely difficult to hold a conversation and almost everyone I spoke to complained about the people around them not being loud enough, and people medium or far distance away being too loud.

Having a way to make the curve steeper would be very helpful I think.

@dooly123 can you point contributors to what line/files in the source code they could take a look at?

i have exposed all of this as settings in the ingame ui, in the future i hope to disable this as we get good settings
