This commit completely revamps the way that blocks are represented in memory at runtime.
Instead of being represented by legacy Mojang block IDs and metadata, which are dated, limited and unchangeable, we now use custom PM block IDs, which are generated from VanillaBlocks.
This means we have full control of how they are assigned, which opens the doors to finally addressing inconsistencies like glazed terracotta, stripped logs handling, etc.
To represent state, BlockDataReader and BlockDataWriter have been introduced, and are used by blocks with state information to pack said information into a binary form that can be stored on a chunk at runtime.
Conceptually it's pretty similar to legacy metadata, but the actual format shares no resemblance whatsoever to legacy metadata, and is fully controlled by PM.
This means that the 'state data' may change in serialization format at any time, so it should **NOT** be stored on disk or in a config.
In the future, this will be improved using more auto-generated code and attributes, instead of hand-baked decodeState() and encodeState(). For now, this opens the gateway to a significant expansion of features.
It's not ideal, but it's a big step forwards.
the reason there hasn't been any API until now is because of how inconvenient it was to expose a LSP-compliant API _and_ use the same base class for handling all the connection logic. This commit fixes that problem by abstracting shape handling away from BaseRail entirely, so that now it deals exclusively with connections. Deciding the shape of rail to use is now the job of the subclasses.
detector rail has fundamentally different functionality than activator and powered rails, so it's misleading to present the same APIs for both.
detector rail's 'powered' state is better referred to as 'activated', since it means the detector rail is actually _producing_ power, and not _receiving_ power.
