Added options to revert doors and ladders to the first playthrough state.

(Doors will require unlocking from inside and ladders need to be broken from top with crowbar.)

INFO

Persistent shortcut doors have been stripped of their shortcut properties. They now look and work like regular doors.

TWO VERSIONS

Normal: Always unlocked

Locked: Requires a lockpick or a crowbar to be used on the outside. It becomes unlocked if passed through from the inside.
