Subject: [PATCH] Make send_spawn_objects more reliable

As noticed by anuserlol, stars would sometimes not spawn from breakable
boxes on the remote. This was due to the box being destroyed before the
star spawned, when the star tried to spawn it couldn't find the parent
and gave up. Now if no parent is found the spawned object will be its
own parent. This should make all spawned objects more reliable, but may
cause weirdness somewhere.

Fixes #34
