Splash Screen & Progress API

[Desoroxxx]

Summary

Improve the splash screen with it's associated progress API.

Goals

• Actually implement a finished progress API
• Allow more customization of the splash
• Document
• Optimize
• Cleanup

Non Goals

• Provide a way to profile loading steps
• Change in any way how the actual loading is done

Motivation

Currently, if a modder wants to indicate to the user the loading of their mod, they can use the ProgressManager sadly, it is not incredibly nice to use and it is undocumented.
Also, to have a nice looking splash, you need extra mods that can be intrusive.

Description

This would aim at creating a new splash renderer, which would be modern thus cleaner and more optimized.

This also proposes the creation of a new ProgressStack class which is used to push ProgressBar objects, the neat difference here is that just like the old unfinished API you push a ProgressBar on the stack with predefined steps, when you reach the predefined number of steps, it automatically pops.
Also, the process of pushing, popping, and stepping progress bars will not incur noticeable overhead.

All the necessary classes would be created in a package under client called splash.

This would also add / improve the loader's progress bars.

Guidelines

• I have and will continue to adhere to the guidelines

Stack approach is a good way to go about it, and keeping it under client.splash is fine for now. You can redirect the methods from the old Forge ProgressManager/ProgressBar into new ones if new classes are more convenient.

That was the plan forgot to mention it, mb

In short...built-in Modern splash?
I would like to change the hammer and anvil to the Cleanroom mark, at least the Forge mark

No, but yes, this is not the goal, but if it's not too much work, yes, probably.

Adding the Cleanroom mark sure, but the hammer and anvil are great, it's a Forge and a neat animation

[Rongmario]

No need to remove the Forge one, if we can somehow incorporate both that'd be excellent.

Yes, I was thinking of making it customisable easily, allowing to implement potentially the current and modern one

What about localization? Should be easy with ResourceBundle, but should we add yet another lang file?
