Kotlin addons

Describe your feature request.

Similar to the current js scripts, you would be able to write add-ons in kotlin. I would say this has a few advantages:

• Speed - I belive kotlin runs much more performant than Javascript
• Bindings - When doing it directly in kotlin you would be able to use all the same events etc. As the build in modules
• References - If you would like to add a new module, but you're new to scripting/programming, it's always great having a base, to then expand on top of. With kotlin any of the build in modules could be used as bases and references for new add-ons
• From pr to own addon - If someone wants to merge a feature into liquidbounce, but It gets rejected, because it for example a too little user base would use the feature, it could easily be refactored into an addon
• Typesafety - I belive kotlin has better typesafety and autocomplete

It would be easy to add something like that, but pretty hard to create such add-ons. But it would allow to share more complex additions without forking the entire project.

@1zun4 @SenkJu opinion?

I think it would be strange to have two different plugin APIs (Kotlin and JavaScript). It's something we will have to consider carefully.
