This commit backports the event manager from Velocity Polymer, with some changes for Velocity 1.1.x API compatibility:
- All event handlers run asynchronously. (While EventTask.async() exists, it is not useful in 3.0.0, but is provided as a migration aid for Polymer.)
- Event ordering is currently limited to the 5 levels available in Velocity 1.x.x.
Fixes#381. There is generally a consensus that we should move forward with this. We do not anticipate a Velocity 2.0.0 release until well after the release of the next Java LTS version (Java 17).
This commit doesn't clean up anything for the new Java version yet.
This is about as optimized as it can get. Thanks to @Leymooo for the idea, I simply expanded on it. We optimize for the common 1-3 byte cases, and punt more "complicated" cases to the original VarInt writing function we had before.
Inspired by the approach described at the bottom of https://richardstartin.github.io/posts/dont-use-protobuf-for-telemetry
Given that we do a lot of varint writing as well, this should provide a small performance boost for larger/complex packets whilst not regressing hard on smaller packets.
This includes a test to ensure that the behavior is as expected and fixes the initialization loop so that the correct results will be given. Much thanks to @octylFractal for acting as my duck while trying to figure this out.

Mitigates attacks like the one described in SpigotMC/BungeeCord#3066. This cannot be considered a full protection, only a mitigation that expects full packets. The attack described is essentially the infamous Slowloris attack.
