Multi-instance mode

[jedediah]

Allow for multiple server processes to be run from the same server files, by preventing the server from writing anything to its home folder.

In MI mode, no config files are written, only read. That includes all plugin configs, bukkit.yml, all the vanilla .json files, and server.properties. World files are copied to a temporary folder, if they exist, and deleted on shutdown.

If a plugin attempts to change a config for either the server or a plugin, will it apply to that instance or is this not possible?

I assume the change will be effective while the server is running, but it won't be saved anywhere.
