Let the WITCH HUNT begin.

This add-on improves the witch's AI to a level that is more threatening to survivors. The major changes are as follows.

- Disallow throwable-idle exploit. - The witch's passing-by swipes deal actual damage. - The witch can break doors and walls even in realism mode. - If someone hits the deadlocked witch during chase, her target changes to the new attacker. - If the witch knocks on the safehouse door three times, it can be opened. - The witch can chase her target even inside the checkpoint. - The witch no longer take damage from tank's attack.
