TLS Melees Use L4D2 Sounds

Description
When working on the The Last Stand update, the team behind it did not attempt to mimic the vanilla game's sound design when implementing their new melee weapons, leaving the Shovel and Pitchfork sounding noticeably pretty different from any other melee (no shade to the devs though as I'm sure there was a reason for it).

To rectify this, I spent a couple minutes in Audacity replacing their sounds with suitable basegame ones to try and be more consistent (the game recycles melee sounds anyways so it's pretty fitting), specifically:
-The Shovel uses the Frying Pan's damage and impact sounds.
-The Pitchfork uses the Golf Club's damage sounds, and the Katana's impact sounds (which are also shared with the knife and machete).
-Both melees use the same "whoosh" sound shared between all other melee weapons when swinging.
