Survivor disconnect handling

Often times survivors will disconnect simply because it's advantageous to the survivor team to do so- not just to deny the killer points. Survivors disconnecting when their downed and on deathhook to deprive the killer of BBQ aura reading their teammates or to open the hatch instantly for the last survivor are just a few examples. This has become a common occurrence in my experience and it's essentially a form of griefing the killer. I propose when a Survivor disconnects to teleport them onto an available basement hook and let BBQ trigger along with any other applicable perks. The body would persist and eventually be sacrificed as per normal and would not simply disappear from the disconnect. Obviously this survivor shouldn't be capable of being unhooked as well- assuming any time is left on the hook for the survivor. With this change the "Leave" button might be best changed to "Give up" make it clear to the survivor that this will happen. Possibly let them see themselves be hooked for a few seconds before ejecting them to the endgame score screen. The purpose for this using a basement hook is to prevent new types of disconnect advantages for the survivors.
