CraftBukkit Changes:
43183eab SPIGOT-5399: spawn-npcs ignored during world generation
e9bb2f15 SPIGOT-5403: isSimilar returns true for different skulls
5c9e7236 SPIGOT-5409: Remove unnecessary defaulting in CraftMetaBookSigned
821238b6 SPIGOT-5412: Use SpawnReason.NATURAL for wandering traders and trader llamas
This option does not set the absolute speed of the entity as the name
implies. It sets a modifier. The default (vanilla) value of `0.5` sets
the baby zombie to move at 50% faster than the base speed.
A negative value like `-0.4` would set them to move at 40% slower.
There should be no functional changes as a result of this change, it's
just clarifying the config name.
