This came to light after observing cfb6856634 in a fresh light. I noticed that this fix should not have been necessary because clearPermissions() should have dealt with it. Unfortunately, permissions can be set without being set in PermissibleBase->permissions, so this misses things.
* Added a new PermissionManager, remove ridiculous cyclic dependencies of Permissions on Server
Aside from all the other ridiculous design problems with the permission system, the biggest problems are its API. This is, once again, a result of poor API design copied from Bukkit.
This pull request removes all permission-related functionality from `PluginManager` and moves it to the `pocketmine\permission\PermissionManager` class.
As can be observed from the removed code in the diff, the permissions system was previously entirely dependent on the Server, because it needed to get the PluginManager for registering permissions. This is utterly ridiculous. This refactor isolates _most_ permission-related functionality within the `permission` namespace.
As mentioned above, this stupid API is a direct result of copying from Bukkit. If you look at the API documentation for Bukkit for `PluginManager` you will see that the methods I'm deprecating here are also in there.
## Changes
- Added a new `PermissionManager` class. This can be accessed via its singleton `getInstance()` static method.
- Deprecated the following `PluginManager` methods - these will be removed no later than 4.0.0:
- `getPermission()`
- `addPermission()`
- `removePermission()`
- `getDefaultPermissions()`
- `recalculatePermissionDefaults()`
- `subscribeToPermission()`
- `unsubscribeFromPermission()`
- `getPermissionSubscriptions()`
- `subscribeToDefaultPerms()`
- `unsubscribeFromDefaultPerms()`
- `getDefaultPermSubscriptions()`
- `getPermissions()`

When plugins do time-limited bans and users enter stupid time values, a shitty bug in ext/date gets triggered, but only when reading the ban entries from disk. DateTime->format() is able to produce formatted strings which have more than 4 digits in the year, which are then considered invalid. This works around it by trying to parse a formatted version on the fly to ensure that it is valid.
This also cleans up and improves ban list loading and handling.
