Checksum verification

As of version 3.3.4 SimpleWarp has checksum verification with Poggit. This is currently experimental.

What it does

Every time you start your server, SimpleWarp will contact the Poggit plugin plugin repository and verify that your SimpleWarp version is intact. If it is, you will see a purple note in your console (see above). If SimpleWarp can't verify itself, you will see no notice and the plugin will continue to function.

Why this is needed

It has become common practice to modify plugins and redistribute them, this feature will allow users to determine if they are running an authentic version of SimpleWarp. This feature also will also allow me to verify the exact version of SimpleWarp you are running to diagnose bugs quickly.

Performance impact

You will notice a delay in your server start when SimpleWarp enables itself, this is the only delay you will experience. If you are unhappy with this, please let me know in the GitHub issues and I can attempt to work around this.
