Merge tweaks and configuration

This allows the merging of Experience orbs, as well as the configuration of the merge radius of items. Additionally it refactors the merge algorithm to be a better experience for players.
LongHash Tweaks.

This commit adds a flat array based cache to the LongHash(Set/Map) classes leading to excellent efficiency for servers where most activity is centered around the origin (0,0)
Async Operation Catching

Catch and throw an exception when a potentially unsafe operation occurs on a thread other than the main server thread.
View Distance

This commit allows the user to select per world view distances, and view distances below 3. Be wary of the issues selecting a view distance of 1 or 2 may cause!
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
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.
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.
Add oreobfuscator for Spigot.
Only count entities in chunks being processed for the spawn wave. Fixes mob spawn issues.
Detect, remove and warn about null tile entities.
Entity Activation Range

This feature gives 3 new configurable ranges that if an entity of the matching type is outside of this radius of any player, will tick at 5% of its normal rate.

This will drastically cut down on tick timings for entities that are not in range of a user to actually be "used".
This change can have dramatic impact on gameplay if configured too low. Balance according to your servers desired gameplay.
