v2.0.0 — Crash-safe saving + preview fix

Sturdier, lighter data storage — and a preview that no longer lingers after a relog.

Crash-safe, much lighter saving

• Atomic writes. Player data (data.json), the preset file and config.json are now written to a temporary file and then atomically renamed into place (with a .bak kept of the previous version). A server crash or kill during a save can no longer leave a half-written, corrupted file behind.
• Routine actions no longer rewrite everything. The block-preset catalog (the curated defaults shipped with the plugin) moved into its own presets.json, which is written only when an admin actually edits a preset (/gp setdefault). Buying, placing or removing an effect now writes just the small, player-scoped data instead of re-serializing the entire catalog on every single change — and a save is skipped entirely when nothing actually changed.
• Automatic migration. On first start the presets move out of data.json into presets.json by themselves. Nothing to configure, and your existing data is untouched.

Why: on a busy server every purchase/placement used to rewrite the whole data file (mostly unchanging catalog data). This keeps saving fast and robust no matter how large the server gets — without pulling in a database.

Fix — preview no longer "sticks" across a relog

• If you started an effect preview (on yourself or on a block) and logged out while it was still showing, the preview could resume when you logged back in — and a body preview would keep your actually-worn effect hidden until it expired. Previews are transient, so they are now cleared the moment you disconnect. Logging back in shows your real worn effect immediately.
