Velocitab 1.7.2 - Minecraft 1.21.2/3 support

Velocitab 1.7.2 adds support for Minecraft 1.21.2/3. This release of Minecraft includes a new protocol for sorting players, which we now takes advantage of for those on the latest game version.

• By default, Velocitab will no longer format player's name tags.
  • This is because we want to minimize the packet traffic footprint of Velocitab with default configurations.
  • This is thanks to the fact that on 1.21.2/3 and newer clients, scoreboard team packets are no longer required for sorting.
  • If your proxy only supports these clients and you're not using Velocitab's nametag features, you are now able to use scoreboard teams. If you still want formatted nametags, these packets will still be sent.
• A minimum version of PAPIProxyBridge (v1.7) is now required; the plugin will check for compatibility on startup
• Fixed a bug where the TAB list would continue to show on disabled servers, courtesy of @lulu2002 (#218)
• Various performance improvements and code logic adjustments
