mckaygerhard 837a49b290 default/player_Api/skindb - dinamically set the model player on client conection

* improves commit 322d7d3b7072a659a261ee59427586469854d377 of player model,
  the problem is that both server and client must be same protocol, so
  this ugly hack is a minimal set (not using a function like normal game)
  to dinamically check client nature and re-registering the model
* NOTE: the check already need to check if the engine is old and the server not,
  so the conditional just try to do exact check agains TRUE boolean.
* Closed https://codeberg.org/minenux/minetest-game-minetest/issues/12
  fixed the problem of collisionbox for the lufix player in ugly way but
  much more effectivelly due can be mixed in FinalMinetest and Multicraft
* fix model preview based on client view, not on server engine version
  for the skindb mod
