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

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.
