Subject: [PATCH] Implement Chunk Priority / Urgency System for Chunks

Mark chunks that are blocking main thread for world generation as urgent

Implements a general priority system so that chunks that are sorted in
the generator queues can prioritize certain chunks over another.

Urgent chunks will jump to the front of the line, ensuring that a
sync chunk load on an ungenerated chunk does not lag the server for
a long period of time if the servers generator queues are filled with
lots of chunks already.

This massively reduces the lag spikes from sync chunk gens.

Then we further prioritize loading order so nearby chunks have higher
priority than distant chunks, reducing the pressure a high no tick
view distance holds on you.

Chunks in front of the player have higher priority, to help with
fast traveling players keep up with their movement.
