Minecraft mode

A new option was added -m or --minecraft that makes rcon compatible with Minecraft servers. This flag can also be specified in the config file with minecraft = true.

Removal of single packet mode

Single packet mode has been removed, as it is now the default. The corresponding options on the command line and configuration file have been preserved as to not break existing scripts and usages.
