For server owners:

1. (we spent a lot of time on this) Sidebar and Tab improvements, session stats remake by @andrei1058 in #845

   • Fix Support all global placeholders in header footer #730
   • Fix Scoreboard Placeholder with colors does not work. #722
   • Fix Dyamic tab header-footer #713
   • Remake game stats mainly for tops. Currently used in game end chat. To be added in game-end sidebar. Automatic placeholder hook.
   • add per game state sidebars for players, per game state sidebars for eliminated players, per game state sidebars for spectators.
   • add per game state tab formatting for players, per game state tab formatting for eliminated players and per game state tab formatting for spectators.
   • added new sidebar formatting for game ending phase. you can display custom tops on it, show the winner team etc.
   
   New internal placeholders for tab and sidebar:
   • {teamStatus} your team's status (same as sidebar);
   • {teamName} your team's name (not colorized);
   • {teamColor} your team's color for text formatting;
   • {teamLetter} first letter from your team name.
   
   In-game tab placeholders now a individual like in the waiting state. Before this update using placeholders in tab list prefix-suffix during playing state would have applied it on all teammates because of tab-order policies. We finally managed to keep tab ordered in a different way and allow individual tab-list formatting.
   
   New placeholder for tab and sidebar during restarting phase:
   • {winnerTeamName} winner team name (not colorized);
   • {winnerTeamColor} winner team's color for text formatting;
   • {winnerTeamLetter} winner team'sfirst letter.
   
   - add new {poweredBy} placeholder that can be used in sidebar/ tab and arena selector GUI;
   - add new option in main config to toggle health bellow name: scoreboard-settings.health.enable;
   
   New configuration paths (config.yml), but you can replicate them in the arena yml file to override the main configuration:
   • game-end.show-eliminated - show eliminated players(spectators) to spectators (that have joined only to spectate);
     
     
   • game-end.teleport-eliminated - teleport spectators to random alive players when the game has ended;
     
     
   • game-end.chat-top.order-by - used to show top players for the ended game in a chat message. Order game-end top players by given statistic. default options are: kills, finalKills, deaths, finalDeaths and bedsDestroyed, but add-ons can register their own statistics;
     
     
   • game-end.chat-top.hide-missing - hide surplus of top stats lines shown chat when cannot display values because players were less than top-status lines;
     
     
   • game-end.sb-top.order-by - used to show top players for the ended game on scoreboard or tab-header-footer messages. Order game-end top players by given statistic. default options are: kills, finalKills, deaths, finalDeaths and bedsDestroyed, but add-ons can register their own statistics;
     
     
   • game-end.sb-top.hide-missing - hide surplus of top stats lines shown in scoreboard or tab-header-footer messages when cannot display values because players were less than top-status lines

API changes:

• add ITeam#getWinner - retrieve the game winner when game ending state is declared;
  
• add IArena#getStatsHolder - here you can register new game statistics.

• add ITeam#getIdentity - runtime identifier for a team;
  
• PlayerKillEvent keeps trace of victim and killer team now.
• add DefaultStatistics (enum of default registered stats)
