Replace Service Manager with Provider

SpongeAPI | SpongeCommon

@Zidane For discussion. Very proof of concept-y, but this was what I was thinking. Plugin recieves event. Plugin chooses whether to supply to event. Event only sent to a plugin if:

• It is named as the provider for the given service in the config (see Common)
• There is no named provider and a registration hasn't been successfully made yet

You'll see in Common that I send the event to one plugin at a time. I've not added the service provider to Game or Sponge yet, that's part of the discussion!

Vanilla/Sponge services have low priority and will always be created last (or as a fallback to a named provider that failed to load)

Interesting concept.
But how do I get access to the ServiceProvider? AFAICT there is no longer a static way to get that instance.

You need to remember that this is a proof of concept and is a draft - something that's come up after discussion with Zidane. Because init is still up in the air and it's not clear where the access will go, I've not added it, and that's concious. It will be added.

This concept may not go futher - if it does, I'll expend the effort then.
