Jecs v0.4.0

Highlights

• Jecs now has entity recycling which will allow you to reuse 2^24 indexes 2^16 times each by giving them generations, giving you a possible range of 2^40 entities in total, you will never run out! Huge thanks to @centau and @SanderMertens for the guidance on the implementation of this!
• The query iterator has been simplified to keep the API more lightweight and transparent.
• Now that jecs is much more stable than before, I am going to take a pivot towards working on flamecs, a jecs wrapper for Flamework. Takes advantage of Flamework macros and type ID system for increased ergonomics.

Changelog

• [world]:
  • Added recycling to world:entity
    • If you see much larger entity ids, that is because its generation has been incremented
• [query]:
  • Removed query:drain
    • The default behaviour is simply to drain the iterator
  • Removed query:next
    • Just call the iterator function returned by query:iter directly if you want to get the next results
  • Removed query:replace
• [luau]:
  • Fixed query:archetypes not taking self
  • Changed so that the jecs.Pair type now returns the first element's type so you won't need to typecast anymore.
