* Renamed ButtonInteractionResult to InteractionResult
* This should allow for access to NBT etc. of stacks in common implementations in the future.
* Note this is more limited than v4, because other types of inventories may contain slots that do not act like normal container slots.
* #getCurrentWindowState * #getRenderContext(UUID) * #getRouter
These interfaces are used to detect used variables, like signals, at runtime.
* The WindowRenderer is now instantiated for each GuiViewManager and constructs the initial state, including signals and components. After that, components are only updated via signals. * Slots are stored inside the ComponentBuilder now. * Add SignalledObject that can be linked to Signals * Removed old unused code * Removed WindowState and ComponentState
* this function requires a ReactiveResult to be returned

The current GUI API is only available on Spigot.
There should be a cross-platform (Spigot, Sponge, Paper) API, which then would make it easier to create cross-platform inventory GUIs.
Plus, the current GUI is pretty much hardcoded and not customizable outside Java classes.
The new system will be build using a functional style, meaning there is no need to create custom implementations for GUI Components and menus.
All is done via builders and callback lambda functions.
API:
Basic interface structure
Basic common Implementation
Component Builders
Create a builder with a common implementation, then access it on each platform to extend it.
