Made mandatory stop available in timed races as a user option; Added separate counter for valid mandatory stops; Fixed time+1lap races allowing mandatory stops in last lap; Mandatory stops must now be completed as far as pit exit trigger to count as valid (effectively preventing valid mandatory stops in last lap of a timed race with no extra lap)

Made vehicle adjustment messages visible in all HUD modes (seat adjustment/Brake bias setting etc)
Adjusted pitstop times for all series for more accurate pitstop losses: Reduced time car is hold when there is no service & for adjusting tire pressure; Reduced time crew takes to get to the car; Reduced chances of crew making a tire change error & time lost due to an error; reduced time it takes to fix front aero damage
