Additional work towards 1.16 compatibility

- Very basic implementation of the SideEffects system. Will definitely need fine tuning for it to be functional, but is not considered a priority in my opinion.
- Minor changes to the World interface and World implementations related to the SideEffects system. Shouldn't be the cause of any new bugs but be on the lookout.
- Included debug in BukkitImplLoader.java to assist contributors in understanding what needs to be implemented for the adapter to load properly.

Still very WIP but we're a few steps closer. So far, this is coming along better than I anticipated. Hopefully we can keep the momentum.
