Subject: [PATCH] Replace player chunk loader system

The old one has undebuggable problems. Rewriting seems
the most sensible option.

This new player chunk manager will also strictly rate limit
chunk sends so that netty threads do not get overloaded, whether
it be from the anti-xray logic or the compression itself.

Chunk loading is also rate limited in the same manner, so this
will result in a maximum responsiveness for change.

Config:
```
chunk-loading:
  min-load-radius: 2
  max-concurrent-sends: 2
  autoconfig-send-distance: true
  target-player-chunk-send-rate: 100.0
  global-max-chunk-send-rate: -1
  enable-frustum-priority: false
  global-max-chunk-load-rate: -1.0
  player-max-concurrent-loads: 25.0
  global-max-concurrent-loads: 500.0
```

min-load-radius - The radius of chunks around a player that
are not throttled for loading. The number of chunks
affected is actually the configured value plus one as this
config controls the chunks the client will be able to render.

max-concurrent-sends - The maximum number of chunks that
can be queued to send at any given time. Low values
are generally going to solve server-sided networking
bottlenecks like anti-xray and chunk compression. Client
side networking is unlikely to be helped (i.e this wont help
people running off McDonald's wifi).

autoconfig-send-distance - Whether to try to use the client's
view distance for the send view distance in the server. In the
case that no plugin has explicitly set the send distance and
the client view distance is less-than the server's send distance,
the client's view distance will be used. This will not affect
tick view distance or no-tick view distance.

target-player-chunk-send-rate - The maximum chunk send rate
an individual player will have. -1 means no limit

global-max-chunk-send-rate - The maximum chunk send rate for
the whole server. -1 means no limit

enable-frustum-priority - Whether chunks in front of a player
are prioritised to load/send first. Disabled by default
because the client can bug out due to the out of order
chunk sending.

global-max-chunk-load-rate - The maximum chunk load rate
for the whole server. -1 means no limit

player-max-concurrent-loads and global-max-concurrent-loads
The maximum number of concurrent loads for the server is
determined by the number of players on the server multiplied by the
`player-max-concurrent-loads`. It is then limited to
whatever `global-max-concurrent-loads` is configured to.
