43397: Knock Player Back
Used by the routines at PlayerMovement and GamePlay_Start.
Starts the player flying after they have been hit, using the hit direction in A (taken from 38660). Bit 7 of the hit direction makes the player fall straight down instead (see KnockPlayerDown). A hit direction of 2 sends the player to the left (see KnockPlayerLeft) and otherwise the player is sent to the right. The sprite IDs 64 to 71 are then handled by HandlerFlyingSabreman, HandlerSittingSabreman and HandlerYellowOrchid_StandUp.
