Update 1.1 - Command Forwarding & Security Update

This update introduces a brand new utility module to SMP-Reconnect, allowing administrators to securely forward commands to backend servers directly from the proxy, protected by a dedicated whitelist system.

New Features

• Proxy Command Forwarding: Added the new /vforward <server> <command> command. This allows authorized users to execute backend server commands without needing to be connected to that specific server.
• Name-Based Whitelist System: To ensure the utmost security with the new forwarder, we've implemented a strict, name-based whitelist. Only players explicitly added to this list can utilize the forwarding features.
• In-Game Whitelist Management: You can now manage your trusted players directly in-game without touching the config! Added the /reconnect whitelist <add/remove/list> <name> administrative command.

Technical Changes

• Config Updates: A new whitelist section will automatically generate in your config.yml to support toggling the whitelist on/off and storing trusted players.
• Performance: The whitelist lookup system is cached efficiently in memory to prevent disk I/O lag on the proxy.

Permissions Overview

• smpreconnect.forward - Required to use the /vforward command.
• smpreconnect.admin - Required to use the new /reconnect whitelist command.

Note: To execute the forwarded commands on your backend instances, ensure you have a lightweight bridge plugin listening on the Spigot/Paper side to receive the Velocity plugin messages.
