[V-Script] Fixed Boomer/Boomette Spawn Sounds

Description
This 'restores' (fixes) the Boomer/Boomette spawn sounds, which NEVER get to play due to the their default idle sounds interrupting those on spawn.

The script mutes the idle sounds on spawn to allow the unique spawn sounds to finally play after god knows how long.

There are about 9 of such spawn sounds restored for both Boomer and Boomette that you likely have not heard before.

This addon is only a script to let the sounds play, so any sound replacement mods should be fully compatible as long as they replace the sounds that are used.

If you want to hear all the sounds yourself, you can go to this directory to find them:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\sound\player\boomer\voice\alert

I'm not entirely sure on why these obviously planned sounds don't play, as I'm still researching on this topic. I don't really know any other reason as to why some sounds get overriden when they clearly aren't supposed to, so I'm assuming its some internal priority system that either doesn't account for certain sounds to play in correct situations or not. If you know more about this topic, I'd be glad to learn why interactions like these are clearly bugged, but for now I'm pretty sure its the limited sound priority system that's at fault.
