New spawning mechanics

Updates to spawning behavior:

1. Pick a random player within the same world as the spawning player.
2. Find a point between 400 and 800 blocks distance from that player. Make sure the point is on ground level so as to not spawn anyone in a vault (y=65 to 200).
3. Fire a custom random-spawn event and check if it is cancelled. If it is cancelled go back to 1.
4. Spawn the player.

@Xavter @BlackXnt @ProgrammerDan @gipsy-king Any of you interested?

I don't think this is something to do now. We will have to handle cross
server spawning for sharding so we probably want to handle those issues
combined. Should we even keep RB for that purpose?

So we are basically going to need a new spawning plugin?

If we can get a clear set of requirements i would be interested in working on it

mostly just cross server spawning with mercury and spawning near players maybe, also it would need to keep track of how many people are on each server to use spawning to load balance.

You can assign this to me if no one else has expressed interest

[ttk2]

its all yours, make a discourse thread so that we can hash out the details, I think we will probably have to re-write from RandomSpawn because of GPL
