feat(sterni/modules): module for fabric minecraft servers r/5334
This adds the module I've been using for running my minecraft servers.
It is inspired by the declarative minecraft server module in nixpkgs,
but

* does not support a non-declarative mode.

* supports more than one server on the same machine.

* patches the fabric mod loader into the server.jar on startup.

* its stopping mechanism is more robust: It issues a `save-all` and
  `stop` command over RCON and uses flock(1) for waiting on the
  server's shutdown instead of relying on checking for the PID
  via kill(1) in a loop.

It has some gaps in terms of features that I personally don't need, but
can be filled in over time.

+# Declarative, but low Nix module for a modded minecraft server using the
+# fabric mod loader. That is to say, the build of the final server JAR
+# is not encapsulated in a derivation.
+#
+# The module has the following interesting properties:
+#
+#   * The fabric installer is executed on each server startup to assemble the
+#     patched server.jar. This is unfortunately necessary, as it seems to be
+#     difficult to do so in a derivation (fabric-installer accesses the network,
+#     the build doesn't seem to be reproducible). At least this avoids the
+#     question of the patched jar's redistributability.
+#   * RCON is used for starting and stopping which should prevent data loss,
+#     since we can issue a manual save command.
+#   * The entire runtime directory of the server is assembled from scratch on
+#     each start, so only blessed state (like the world) and declarative
+#     configuration (whitelist.json, server.properties, ...) survive.
+#   * It supports more than one server running on the same machine.
+#
+# Missing features:
+#
+#   * Support for bans
+#   * Support for mutable whitelist, ops, …
+#   * Op levels
