setVehiclesLODDistance() & setPedsLodDistance() can't override player settings

[lopezloo]

Describe the bug
setVehiclesLODDistance() & setPedsLodDistance() values are being clamped to values based on user video settings.

To reproduce
Disable "Render vehicles always in high quality" option in video settings.
Stay away from some vehicles to see their low LOD models.
crun setVehiclesLODDistance(300)
... no effect

Expected behaviour
setVehiclesLODDistance() & setPedsLODDistance() should be able to override player settings (?).

Version
v1.5.9-release-21067

Late comment, but from what I remember, this was desired behavior, we were leaning on the player having final control over how much is being rendered on their system. But there might have been a bug too, can't remember the exact behavior pattern we were going for.

When I first introduced setVehiclesLODDistance in #113 it was supposed to be overridable by scripts. IMO it should be up to scripters. As far as I remember there was indeed some bug with that function. I think it wasn't resetting properly on disconnect or something? Anyway, it was later fixed along with changing this behaviour in 2308f5a.
