> This code change will **completely move gumps out of the core**
### Summary
- Adds `GetGumps()` convenience which exposes methods to Find/Close/Send multiple gumps. This helper is a performance improvement by eliminating the Dictionary<Player, List> lookup for gumps.
### Summary
* Removes old gump packet support
* Removes support for v4 clients
* Removes `Unpack` flag and assumes it is always true.
* Removes StringToBuffer since this is built into .NET now.

## Breaking Changes
Incoming packet registration signature has changed to:
```cs
delegate* void OnReceiveCallback(NetState state, SpanReader reader, int packetLength);
IncomingPackets.Register(int packetID, int length, bool ingame, OnReceiveCallback onReceive);
```
For example, an incoming packet handler signature would now look like this:
```cs
public static void SomeIncomingPacket(NetState state, SpanReader reader, int packetLength)
{
// Parse the data
}
```
## Summary
Updates the network Pipe class to use a mirrored memory technique. This technique involves mapping the same physical memory to two contiguous virtual memory spaces so the byte buffer appears duplicated. This allows writing to a double-sized array to wrap around without the need for the `CircularBuffer` classes.
In practice this allows us to use `Span<byte>` as if the buffer was a regular array.
### Bug Fixes
- [X] Fixes bad fixed length string parsing
- [X] Cleans up gump packets
- [X] Adds event loop task synchronization
- [X] Moves timer pause and cleans up the delay task timer class
- [X] Cleans up the conserve cpu
- [X] Renames variables to make them consistent with the new style
- [X] Removes process delta recursion checking.
- [X] Properly diposes net states. This fixes edge cases that may cause hanging connections to stay open longer than they should.
- [X] Fixes an issue with gump items not compiling properly
Users can now utilize `Timer.Pause()` since the code will be executed on the proper thread.
```cs
public void async void Talk()
{
_canTalk = false;
await Timer.Pause(Utility.RandomMinMax(5000, 8000)); // Talk after 5-8 seconds
DoTalk();
await Timer.Pause(Utility.RandomMinMax(12000, 25000)); // Reset ability to talk after 12-25 seconds
_canTalk = true;
}
```
