until now, any thread crash would show as a generic crash since we aren't able to get the trace from the crashed thread directly. This uses some dirty tricks to export a partially serialized stack trace to the main thread, where it can be written into a crashdump.
This enables us to see proper crash information for async tasks in the crash archive (finally!!!) as well as being able to capture RakLib errors properly.
normally I would hesitate to reinvent the wheel, but we only need a tiny subset of the ASN.1 spec which is trivial to implement by itself.
I'd rather this than depend on another library that could introduce security vulnerabilities (I'm looking at you, jsonmapper).

if users want these, they can broadcast them themselves using Server::broadcastMessage(), which will also record the message in the server log like chat

since we don't have a hard date for this, and I've already made one wrong educated guess, I'd rather not have another massive outage.
A security update will have to be made to remove the old key as soon as the new one is rolled. This is not ideal, but it's the least disruptive option.
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.
this coincidentally fixes mangrove doors being tagged with unwanted blockstate runtime IDs. Their items client-side are not actually blockitems, so the client doesn't expect them to have blockstate IDs attached.
This reduces the chaos in the creative inventory slightly (for some reason the client responds to this stuff by putting random creative items in the wrong places), but the mess is still substantial and I don't know what caused the rest of it.

technically we shouldn't be breaking BC of internals signatures in a patch release, but it's internals, and that's an unwritten rule anyway. In any case, no one is likely to be affected.
while I could implement server-side ability to disable entity movement, I don't think that's particularly useful. However, the intended function of this (disabling client sided AI) is useful, so it makes more sense to rename it to match its functionality, rather than changing its functionality to match the name.

this was previously part of the abandoned package pocketmine/spl. It had to be separated in the PM3 days, because RakLib depended on it.
Since RakLib 0.13, RakLib stopped being dependent on or aware of pthreads, so it no longer depends on any thread-related packages.
It's also possible to absorb pocketmine/snooze and pocketmine/classloader back into the core with this in mind.
Due to the high cost of Item::serializeCompoundTag(), it's very costly to rebuild this every time we need it. This is sent during the pre-spawn step, where we need to minimize costs as much as possible.
we rely on phpstan for validation of this internally, and plugins shouldn't be calling these methods anyway.
this significantly reduces the overhead of CompressBatchPromise.
For blocks, we now use 'block-item state' and 'block-only state', which should be much clearer for people implementing custom stuff.
'block-item state', as the name suggests, sticks to the item when the block is acquired as an item.
'block-only state' applies only to the block and is discarded when the block is acquired as an item.
'type data' for items was also renamed, since 'type' is too ambiguous to be anything but super confusing.
moral of the story: do not trust that mojang things do what they say they do - the spectator ability layer always applies, regardless of whether the player is actually in spectator mode or not ...
