Filter data for items that shouldn't have it and filter wool.

We used to fall Item.filterData() for this but that method is meant for
converting item data to block data during placement and does the wrong
thing for this case. Instead we just see if the item should have data and
if not set it to zero. We also have to filter wool data explicitly because
clients crash when given invalid wool data.
POM Changes.
Spigot changes.
Address BUKKIT-3286 by firing the inventory close event when a secondary container is closed due to the player entity being destroyed. This covers all edge cases such as server stop / player kick / player quit.
Update item merge logic
Include NibbleArray from mc-dev for diff visibility
Implement 'lightening' of NibbleArrays - only allocate buffers when non-trivial value Saving from 40-45% of memory use by chunk section data.

Finish up NibbleArray lightening work - use for Snapshots, reduce copies

Fix nibble handling with NBT - arrays aren't copied by NBTByteArray
Return LOHS to full operation.
Per world view distance.
Fix various crop growth modifier formula issues
Add OldChunkLoader from mc-dev for diff visibility
Fix mcRegion-to-Anvil conversion
Update versioning check to correctly resolve api version.
Optimize packet used to unload chunks for the client

At the moment telling a client to unload a chunk involves calling the entire chunk from memory, deflating it and then sending it through the pipes even though the client ignores it and based on the bitmap simply unloads the chunk, and to add the cherry on top, this is done on the main server thread.
Skip entity.move() if we are not moving anywhere.
Alternate, sync-free-but-safe chunk reference cache
Tick loop optimization - sleep for as long as possible.
Improved Timings System

Tracks nearly every point of minecraft internals and plugin events to give a good quick overview on what is causing TPS loss.
Better + more flexible itemstack merging
Add oreobfuscator for Spigot.
