Add a protector mob that shows up to help out and then disappears

There are different versions of the Protector to be modeled after:


* Cold version: Yeti


* Temperate version: Bigfoot


* Warm version: Yowie

 

The Protector would be a neutral mob that classically only spawns from behind a tree, though its spawn can be anywhere near a player's Y-height that's outside line-of-sight to any player, and only when there is already a hostile mob within 8 chunks of that spot. However, Protectors always avoid Villagers and will never spawn within a certain distance of any Village.

 

The Protector will then pursue and fight any mob considered hostile to either players or Villagers.


Once there are no hostile mobs anywhere in range, or after a long enough time, Protectors will try to find somewhere to despawn. It will pathfind to wherever it needs to in order to break line-of-sight to any player so it can do this. This could include going behind the player's back if there is nowhere else to go.
