Compressed Nibble Arrays

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
Sync Free Chunk Reference Cache
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.
Fix Mob Spawning Relative to View Distance
Handle 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.
