HUD: don't draw panels needing player data before it's received

Fixes
"client VM warning: VM_CL_getstati: index(-1) is >=MAX_CL_STATS(256) or <0"
often appearing when connecting, with my hud_panel_ammo config.

It could also have been fixed by checking for (ammoType == 0) as well as
(ammoType == RES_NONE) but a many-cases fix is better than a
special-case fix.
