1.20.2 (#99)

* add configuration state

* start updating to 23w31a

* implement a bit more of 23w31a

* chunk batching

* start adding configuration state

* ioasfhjgsd

* almost works

* configuration state mostly implemented

* handle other packets in configuration state and fix keepalive

* cleanup, fix warnings

* 23w32a

* fix some doctests

* 23w33a

* 23w35a

* 1.20.2-pre2

* fix system conflicts

* 1.20.2-pre4

* make tests compile

* tests pass

* 1.20.2-rc2

* 1.20.2

* Revert "1.20.2"

This reverts commit dd152fd265332ead333c919e585ded6d609d7468.

* didn't mean to commit that code
