Gameplay Systems in patch 5.08

Fixed various minimap bugs:
- Ally position indicators would persist on the edge of minimap even after ally came back into view
- In some cases, KAY/O's ZERO-point Suppression Blade position indicator could appear twice on the minimap
- Opening the larger map (defaulted to Caps Lock and ‘M’) during round transition could cause spawn barriers to appear as a single pixel
- "Recently Seen Enemy" icon indicators could sometimes update their position without the enemy being visible
