Combat mode: no more casting in the wrong stance

Bots that swap between a weapon and a wand could cast before the server had taken
the mode change. The cast went out in the old stance, the server logged
CombatMode mismatch, and the parked change then landed during the windup and
fizzled the spell — one wasted cast per swap.

• A combat-mode change now waits until the body is in position, the way the
  original client does: not while a swing or a stance animation is still
  playing, and never during a portal ("You can't change combat mode while
  teleporting").
• The headless client now takes the stance the server puts your own body in.
  It used to drop it, so the wait above could never happen there.
• Plugin API: PluginCombatSnapshot.ServerMode — the mode the server last
  reported (Unknown until it has said anything). Mode moves when the client
  sends a change; ServerMode moves when the server has taken it. A plugin
  that waits for the two to agree casts within ~50 ms of the server accepting
  the change. Additive; older plugins see Unknown.
• A mode-change command that is parked until the body is ready now counts as
  accepted (it goes out on its own), instead of being reported as rejected.

Measured on the headless client with MossTank on a fixed route (10 minutes):
warnings and fizzles per swap 1 → 0; kills per minute 9.9 → 11.1.

Launcher

• A Console button next to Play opens a window for a headless session:
  the session's output in the game's chat colours, and a line to send commands
  (/vt start, /quit …).

Plugin API documentation

• Every public member of AcDream.Plugin.Abstractions is documented; the
  build fails on an undocumented one.

Plugins

• MossTank 0.2.4 (separate release) uses ServerMode; it needs this client.
