Add player models (player live positions)

[hornta]

As an alternative to player heads I would like to show player models on the map. If the API could expose the current pitch and yaw we could make the player look in the same direction as they do in the server.

If this gets added, player data should be updated far more frequently

I would really like to see preliminary support not only for players, but for Bukkit NPCs and maybe even armor stands as well. Even without pitch/yaw or rotation, just the ability to render a player model and teleport it around could open up real possibilities for spectating and even web-controlled minigames. A player head just doesn't cut it when not looking straight-down.

ooo once thats done in the far future, could you support fully custom playermodels? (specificly the figura mod) scripts wouldnt have to be included but it would be cool to see a players fully custom model in map
(obviously this would be a stretch goal for a ways in the future)

Or at least it should be configurable.
