Island Limits

Two bug fixes for accuracy: block placeholders work again, and entity counts no longer drift below the real population when another plugin removes a spawn that Limits already cancelled.

• Block count and limit placeholders work again — since 1.28.0 every block placeholder was registered with the minecraft: namespace baked into its name, so %Limits_bskyblock_island_spawner_limit% was really %Limits_bskyblock_island_minecraft:spawner_limit% and PlaceholderAPI returned it unparsed. All block _count, _limit and _base_limit placeholders, including the _overworld, _nether and _end variants, are now registered under the documented names. Entity placeholders were never affected. Custom-block keys from ItemsAdder or Oraxen use namespace_key (for example itemsadder_ruby_block) since a colon is not valid in a placeholder name. Fixes #298
• 🔺 Entity counts no longer drift when a cancelled spawn is removed — when Limits cancels a spawn at the limit and the spawning plugin then calls remove() on that never-added entity (Greenhouses did this), Paper still fires EntityRemoveEvent, and Limits decremented the island's count for a mob that was never counted. The counter dropped below the real population and the next spawn slipped through, ending at e.g. 4/3 ghasts. Removals of entities that never entered the world are now ignored. Reported on Discord. [PR #297]

🔺 Recount note: if you run Greenhouses (or any plugin that removes entities it failed to spawn), entity counts on affected islands may have drifted low under previous versions. Run the admin recount command (/<gamemode> admin limits calc <player>) on affected islands, or have players trigger a recount, so counts match reality.
