Implement Permissions API

[MrIvanPlays]

Currently, this lays the ground of a Permissions & Chat API for Treasury.
I'm opening this not just for discussion, but to implement sane ideas suggested in this PR.

Thanks Ivan! I've taken a look at what you've currently implemented, and left some comments.

there's another problem we need to discuss: that's about prefix and suffix nodes. their data type is a component. but the problem is that spigot and bungeecord utilize bungeecord-chat whilst any other server/proxy implementation (sponge, velocity, paper, etc.) utilizes adventure. if we opt in for bungeecord-chat components, then we need to download bungeecord-chat for the platforms where they don't have it and translate bungeecord-chat -> adventure, or the reverse, if we opt in for adventure components, then we need to download adventure for the platforms where they don't have it and translate adventure -> bungeecord-chat. a solution i thought of is create our own chat api, but that's basically just unnecessary reinvention of the wheel.

Sorry for avandoning Treasury for so long. I just dont have time to keep up. But I saw that you're asking for help.
I haven't got time to check what ideas you have proposed but:

Are these two systems too diferent from each other? Couldn't you just abstract the common/neccessary functionality and use the abstraction on the api, but on the code have it call the system of the platform?
Sorry if this doesn't help much, but I don't have time to keep up with all the progress

Yes. Completely.

No.

The only solution this ^. We could make a simplifed and small Component/NameComponent for these prefix/suffix to retrieve and change things. Or just a plain String as the last resort.

I really don't want to think this is the only solution. An idea just passed through my mind and that is create a ComponentCreator that will spit out the component json, then consumers and implementors can shove that in bungee-chat or adventure and get a proper component.

@Jikoo any thoughts/ideas?

[Jikoo]

Probably not for at least a month or two based on how things are looking - my GPU is failing, which in turn makes pretty much everything quite frustrating. I was very spoiled by dual 1440p monitors, a single at 1024x768 is practically unusable.

Please don't hold back on my account.

[MrIvanPlays]

This is not gonna push back the 2.0.0 release anymore. We will release this when it's ready.

[MrIvanPlays]

@Jikoo please implement your ideas whenever you can

This is the next major item on my list, but my development time is currently being devoted to a plugin of mine that has apparently been partially broken since like 1.14 due to changes that weren't listed on the MC wiki (whoops).

okay, I just reworked nodes btw

[MrIvanPlays]

it looks like to me there was 0 time to work on this :( . Anyone still interested in giving his ideas into writing this API?
