### Changes

#### General

GameTest Framework
* System Events
	+ Added event `beforeWatchdogTerminate`- Shuts down the server when a critical scripting exception occurs (e.g. script hang). Can be canceled to prevent shutdown
	+ Added enum `WatchdogTerminateReason`- Specifies the reason for watchdog termination
	+ Added new properties to `properties` for watchdog configuration on Bedrock Dedicated Server
		- `script-watchdog-enable-exception-handling`- Enables watchdog exception handling via the `events.beforeWatchdogTerminate` event (default = `true`)
		- `script-watchdog-enable-shutdown`- Enables server shutdown in the case of an unhandled watchdog exception (default = `true`)
		- `script-watchdog-hang-exception`- Throws a critical exception when a hang occurs (default = `true`)

General
* Removed the component `minecraft:unwalkable`
* Renamed `minecraft:explosion_resistance` to `minecraft:destructible_by_explosion` and restructured the component to be either defined as a boolean or as an object
	+ Setting the component to true will give the block the default `explosion_resistance` and setting it to false will make the block indestructible by explosion
	+ Setting the component as an object will let users define the resistance of the block to a base explosion
