Drop Close region files patch, doesn't add any value.
Upon further knowledge of the system, it is known that region files
are closing properly, as well as this didn't help native memory use anyways.

This patch also caused issues compiling on a newer JDK being able to
release the jar to java 8 users.

Fix undesirable behavior around world level changes due to priority
priority tickets being added at 33 was hurting sync EMPTY and lesser requests.

this was likely the source of recent treasure map issues.

This then further hurt nether portal travel too. lots of oddness around.

This also avoids scheduling a level change on ticket removal when the level
is unchanged, as well as ditches CB's horrible change to not letting
you access an unloading chunk which should be valid to cancel the unload

Optimize Light Engine
Massive update to light to improve performance and chunk loading/generation.

1) Massive bit packing/unpacking optimizations and inlining.
  A lot of performance has to do with constant packing and unpacking of bits.
  We now inline a most bit operations, and re-use base x/y/z bits in many places.
  This helps with cpu level processing to just do all the math at once instead
  of having to jump in and out of function calls.

  This much logic also is likely over the JVM Inline limit for JIT too.
2) Applied a few of JellySquid's Phosphor mod optimizations such as
  - ensuring we don't notify neighbor chunks when neighbor chunk doesn't need to be notified
  - reduce hasLight checks in initializing light, and prob some more, they are tagged JellySquid where phosphor influence was used.
3) Optimize hot path accesses to getting updating chunk to have less branching
4) Optimize getBlock accesses to have less branching, and less unpacking
5) Have a separate urgent bucket for chunk light tasks. These tasks will always cut in line over non blocking light tasks.
6) Retain chunk priority while light tasks are enqueued. So if a task comes in at high priority but the queue is full
   of tasks already at a lower priority, before the task was simply added to the end. Now it can cut in line to the front.
   this applies for both urgent and non urgent tasks.
7) Buffer non urgent tasks even if queueUpdate is called multiple times to improve efficiency.
8) Fix NPE risk that crashes server in getting nibble data

Boost light task priority to ensure it doesnt hold up chunk loads
Run urgent as 2 so urgent light can run as 1 (light run at chunk -1 for loading purposes)

Improve Chunk Prioritization / Load Order
1) Improve frustum to look more at the near chunks and frontal chunks only instead of 1 large single look up.
2) Delay adding 33 tickets based on view distance and lower their task priority. This will slower roll out the spiral
3) Chunks behind the player have additional delay on loading, favoring chunks in front of the player.

This has benefit that if faster traveling, some of the chunks will be cancelled / not loaded.

This should reduce pressure on chunk loading, as well as reduce loading/unloading unnecessary chunks while moving.

Improve Chunk Status Transition Speed
When a chunk is loaded from disk that has already been generated,
the server has to promote the chunk through the system to reach
it's current desired status level.

This results in every single status transition going from the main thread
to the world gen threads, only to discover it has no work it actually
needs to do.... and then it returns back to main.

This back and forth costs a lot of time and can really delay chunk loads
when the server is under high TPS due to their being a lot of time in
between chunk load times, as well as hogs up the chunk threads from doing
actual generation and light work.

Additionally, the whole task system uses a lot of CPU on the server threads anyways.

So by optimizing status transitions for status's that are already complete,
we can run them to the desired level while on main thread (where it has
to happen anyways) instead of ever jumping to world gen thread.

This will improve chunk loading effeciency to be reduced down to the following
scenario / path:

1) MAIN: Chunk Requested, Load Request sent to ChunkTaskManager / IO Queue
2) IO: Once position in queue comes, submit read IO data and schedule to chunk task thread
3) CHUNK: Once IO is loaded and position in queue comes, deserialize the chunk data, process conversions, submit to main queue
4) MAIN: next Chunk Task process (Mid Tick or End Of Tick), load chunk data into world (POI, main thread tasks)
5) MAIN: process status transitions all the way to LIGHT, light schedules Threaded task
6) SERVER: Light tasks register light enablement for chunk and any lighting needing to be done
7) MAIN: Task returns to main, finish processing to FULL/TICKING status

Previously would have hopped to SERVER around 12+ times there extra.

Fix Chunks unloading immediately for priority access - Fixes #3461
Adding a priority ticket was apparently causing the level tracker
to immediately unload the chunk.

That code is scary

Unload leaked Cached Chunks
Due to some complexity in mojangs complicated chain of juggling
whether or not a chunk should be unloaded when the last ticket is
removed, many chunks are remaining around in the cache.

These chunks are never being targetted for unload because they are
vastly out of view distance range and have no reason to be looked at.

This is a huge issue for performance because we have to iterate these
chunks EVERY TICK... This is what's been leading to high SELF time in
Ticking Chunks timings/profiler results.

We will now detect these chunks in that iteration, and automatically
add it to the unload queue when the chunk is found without any tickets.

Preload important classes such as Logger and JLine
This is for 2 reasons:
1) Ensuring our log4j is mostly loaded at OUR version.
   I've seen stack traces with line numbers that do not match our version. This means that some
   plugin has shaded in log4j and their loaded version is mixing with ours....
   So by at least trying to load a bunch of log4j classes before we load plugins, we can be
   more sure mixed versions are not loading.

2) If the jar file is replaced while the server is runnimg class not found errors galore
   This will preloaod a bunch of classes commonly seen to error during shutdown due to this.

   The goal here is to help let the server shutdown gracefully as possible. Some plugins will
   still blow up here if they access a class that hadn't been loaded yet, but goal is to at least
   stop freezing the shutdown process as it does with JLine and Log4j errors requiring an external kill.

   Ideally you should not replace jars while the server is running, but it is something that happens in
   development for testing.

Updated test server to do a copy though to avoid this happening in Paper development.

Fix plugins calling getChunkAtAsync asynchronously
While this method has async in it's name, it's not actually meant
to be called asynchronously.... It just means IT will load the chunk
asynchronously without blocking main.

So fix this so that if a plugin calls it async, it forces the request back to main thread.

More Improvements to Chunks
Fixed issues where urgent and prioritized chunks didn't actually
always get their priority boosted correctly....

Properly deprioritize non ticking chunks.
Limit recursion on watchdog prints to stop flooding as much
Remove neighbor priorities from watchdog to reduce information
reduce synchronization duration so that watch dog won't block main should main actually wake up
probably fixed a deadlock risk in watchdog printing also that was leading to crashes
fixed chunk holder enqueues not being processed correctly
added async catchers in some locations that should not be ran async

Fixed upstream bug where VITAL callbacks that must run on main actually could
sometimes run on the server thread pool causing alot of these nasty bugs we've seen lately!

This build will provide massive improvements to stability as well as even faster
sync chunk load/gens now that priority is correctly set.

Many fixes and improvements to chunk prioritization
I believe this brings us back to stable. A lot of complexity was
learned about juggling priorities.

We were essentially promoting more chunks to urgent than really
needed to be urgent.

So this commit adds a lot more logic to juggle neighbor priorities
and demote their priority once they meet the requirements needed of
them.

This greatly improves the performance of "urgent" chunks".

Protect the visible chunk map from plugins touching it, trim Timing Errors
Blow up if a plugin tries to mutate visibleChunks directly and prevent them
from doing so.

Also provide a safe get call if any plugins directly call get on it so
that it uses the special logic to check pending.

Also restores ABI for the visibleChunks field back to what it was too.

Additionally, remove the stack trace from Timings Stack Corruption for any
error thrown on Minecraft Timings, and tell them to get the error ABOVE this
instead, so people stop giving us useless error reports.

Also fixes a memory leak when the source map down sizes but dest map didn't,
which resulted in lingering references to old chunk holders.

Many improvements to chunk prioritization and bug fixes
Fixed a few bugs, and made numerous improvements.
Fixed issue where a sync chunk load could have its ticket removed and the
priority ticket could expire...
Still not perfect there but better than before.

Also fixed few other misc issues such as watchdog cpu usage, chunk queue update
had risk of double enqueue due to it no longer being a set.

Added much more information about chunk state to watchdog prints.

I see some more room for improvement even, but this is much better than before.

Implement Chunk Priority / Urgency System for Chunks
Mark chunks that are blocking main thread for world generation as urgent

Implements a general priority system so that chunks that are sorted in
the generator queues can prioritize certain chunks over another.

Urgent chunks will jump to the front of the line, ensuring that a
sync chunk load on an ungenerated chunk does not lag the server for
a long period of time if the servers generator queues are filled with
lots of chunks already.

This massively reduces the lag spikes from sync chunk gens.

Then we further prioritize loading order so nearby chunks have higher
priority than distant chunks, reducing the pressure a high no tick
view distance holds on you.

Chunks in front of the player have higher priority, to help with
fast traveling players keep up with their movement.

This commit also improves single core cpu scenarios in that we will
now automatically disable Async Chunks as well as Minecrafts thread
pool.

It is never recommended to use async chunks on a single CPU as context
switching will be slower than just running it all on main.

This also bumps the number of server worker threads by default too.
Mojang does not utilize the workers in an effecient manner, resulting
in them using barely any sustained CPU.

So give it more workers so more chunks can be processed concurrently

This change also improves urgent chunk loading, so players flying into
unloaded chunks will hurt a little bit less (but still hurt)
