ECS Rewrite (#184) This PR redesigns Valence's architecture around the Bevy Entity Component System framework (`bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app`). Along the way, a large number of changes and improvements have been made. - Valence is now a Bevy plugin. This allows Valence to integrate with the wider Bevy ecosystem. - The `Config` trait has been replaced with the plugin struct which is much easier to configure. Async callbacks are grouped into their own trait. - `World` has been renamed to `Instance` to avoid confusion with `bevy_ecs::world::World`. - Entities, clients, player list, and inventories are all just ECS components/resources. There is no need for us to have our own generational arena/slotmap/etc for each one. - Client events use Bevy's event system. Users can read events with the `EventReader` system parameter. This also means that events are dispatched at an earlier stage of the program where access to the full server is available. There is a special "event loop" stage which is used primarily to avoid the loss of ordering information between events. - Chunks have been completely overhauled to be simpler and faster. The distinction between loaded and unloaded chunks has been mostly eliminated. The per-section bitset that tracked changes has been removed, which should further reduce memory usage. More operations on chunks are available such as removal and cloning. - The full client's game profile is accessible rather than just the textures. - Replaced `vek` with `glam` for parity with Bevy. - Basic inventory support has been added. - Various small changes to `valence_protocol`. - New Examples - The terrain and anvil examples are now fully asynchronous and will not block the main tick loop while chunks are loading. # TODOs - [x] Implement and dispatch client events. - ~~[ ] Finish implementing the new entity/chunk update algorithm.~~ New approach ended up being slower. And also broken. - [x] [Update rust-mc-bot to 1.19.3](https://github.com/Eoghanmc22/rust-mc-bot/pull/3). - [x] Use rust-mc-bot to test for and fix any performance regressions. Revert to old entity/chunk update algorithm if the new one turns out to be slower for some reason. - [x] Make inventories an ECS component. - [x] Make player lists an ECS ~~component~~ resource. - [x] Expose all properties of the client's game profile. - [x] Update the examples. - [x] Update `valence_anvil`. - ~~[ ] Update `valence_spatial_index` to use `glam` instead of `vek`.~~ Maybe later - [x] Make entity events use a bitset. - [x] Update docs.
