This PR itself does nothing on its own but creates the underlying backbone I need to make a less hacky solution in #3963 lmfao.
This PR creates a provider which uses NBT on 1.8.8-1.13 to mimic the exact structure of a PersistentDataContainer on 1.14+ which will allow us make any possible upgrades (which don't die from the lack of DFU on >1.13) work as expected. Additionally, this does not use reflection on modern Minecraft versions and thus will not need to be maintained/updated on MC version updates.
In the future, we will need to find a way to store data on tile entities (signs namely) so that we are able to store UUIDs on signs for future plans, but for now ItemStacks work to fix our spawner issues.

Adds an update checker to Essentials that will check for the latest version on startup, on player join (permission is `essentials.updatecheck`), or manually with `/ess version`.
On startup, the update checker will fetch build information from a resource generated at compile time and determine if the build is a dev or stable build. If it's a stable build, the update checker will only check for a new release; while a dev build will check for any new commits.
There are 6 different types of messages the update checker will return;
* Identical: The current build is the latest stable release or latest dev build. This message is only shown in the `/ess version` command.
* Behind: If the current build is stable, it's an entire stable build behind, otherwise it's one or more dev builds behind.
* Diverged: The current build was made from a branch other than `2.x` and is also one or more dev builds behind the latest commit on `2.x`.
* Diverged Latest: The current build was made from a branch other than `2.x` but is based on the latest commit from `2.x`.
* Unknown: The current build either has invalid build information or was customly built. This message is show everywhere but on player join.
* Error: There was an error while fetching the latest version information.
Update checks can be disabled using the `update-check` option in `config.yml`.

This moves storage of balances from the baltop command into the UserMap. This was needed by Glare to able to get a hold of all users balances without causing jvm hell on the usermap.
To access this API as an end user;
```java
import net.essentialsx.api.v2.services.BalanceTop;
//...
BalanceTop api = Bukkit.getServer().getServicesManager().load(BalanceTop.class);
```
Closes#3100, closes#3540
