Since task execution depends on tasks executing sequentially on a particular worker in some cases (e.g. PopulationTask must be preceded by GeneratorRegisterTask), it doesn't make sense to continue task execution if an error occurs.
Moreover, a task crashing may render the whole server unstable, as it leaves the server in an undefined state. This is the same kind of problem we fixed with scheduled tasks in PM3.
In versions past, pthreads was unreliable enough that random tasks would crash without an obvious reason, forcing us to accommodate this. I still don't know the origin or frequency of said issues, but I think it's time to rip the band-aid off and solve these problems for real.
I previously avoided this due to being unsure of the effects; however, it's clear that we already use typed properties on Threaded things in other places anyway, and the only known issues are with uninit properties, and arrays.
while this is a bit hacky outside of the protocol namespace, it makes it much easier to use the protocol library for alternative purposes, such as for a client or MITM proxy.
It also removes all but one remaining core dependency of the protocol library, making it very close to being able to be separated from the server core entirely.
in cases like PopulationTask it makes more sense to store the coordinates separately where they can be stored more efficiently (once instead of 9 times)
In addition, PopulationTask shouldn't need to serialize an empty chunk just to copy coordinates.
I've made changes like this in other areas already in preparation for the day when chunks no longer contain their coordinates, so this brings us one step closer to that goal.
the compressor used by RakLibInterface when opening a session is still
hardcoded, but that's because we have no way to select the correct
compressor at that point in the login sequence, since we aren't
propagating the protocol information up from RakLib right now.
