With sync_controller on and sync_inventories off, switching to a synced
god, ghost or spectator destroyed the local character and its items.
Serialize the local items first and place them in the new controller.
Logistic requests and the flashlight live on the character, which the
download replaces when inventories are synced. Save them with the local
controller and restore them when their component is not synced.

A character without requests serialized to nil, which the controller
reads as a player with nowhere to hold them, so with inventories off
the stored requests came back. Serialize an empty table instead, clear
old slots before restoring on 1.1, and fix the set_personal_logistic_slot
typo that made any 1.1 restore fail.

Syncing the controller required syncing the inventories, and with the controller off a god or ghost kept its local items while the stored character was left alone. Cooldude pointed out there is no reason the items can't follow the player to a different controller.
The controller and inventories components are now independent. The god inventory and the hidden ghost inventory belong to the inventories component. On download the scenario first settles the controller, synced or local, and then places the stored items into whatever that controller holds. An inventory goes slot for slot into the inventory of the same name when it fits, otherwise its items are inserted into the main, guns, ammo and armor inventories, and anything left goes into a corpse below the player. A spectator holds nothing, so everything goes into the corpse. A player without a character gets the crafting queue ingredients as items.
This removes the early respawn of a ghost with a stored character and the upload of the respawned character, a ghost now gets and uploads its hidden inventory. Download spectates every synced player when the inventories are synced, as a god or ghost now holds synced items too. The controller keeps the stored logistic requests when the upload came from a player with nowhere to hold them.
Slot filters are dropped when the destination does not support them, such as a script inventory.

A player who died on an instance syncing inventories but not the controller uploaded no character, so the controller kept the stored one and the player got their items back on the next join while the corpse still held them. The scenario now respawns the ghost for a moment, as the controller synced path already does to read the hidden inventory, and uploads that character.

The controller merged uploads using the uploading instance's current config. An upload serialized under different settings, for example one sent from the save right after an admin turned on sync_inventories and restarted the instance, was then merged as if it held a character and wiped the stored one. Uploads now carry the components they were serialized with, the controller merges by those and drops the key before storing.
The scenario keeps the components a player's synced session started with and serializes their upload with them, so changing the options while a player is online takes effect the next time they join. A player whose session lacks a component that is now synced downloads again even if the generation matches. Downloads snapshot the components when they start, so a change during a download can't mix two sets.
A failed acquire unsyncs the player again regardless of the inventories setting, as before this branch.
The god and dead player inventories move from the inventories component to the controller one, matching what the scenario syncs, which removes the special case in mergePlayerData.

With the controller off, a god or ghost player was still turned into a spectator while downloading, which threw away the local state the sync is meant to leave alone. Only spectate a player without a character when the controller is synced, and skip the ghost round trip when the ghost is the local state.
A ghost on an instance that syncs inventories but not the controller never received the stored character, so after respawning it uploaded an empty one over it. Respawn such a ghost straight away when there is a stored character to give it.
Clear the saved local controller when the player picks a temporary inventory after a failed download, otherwise a later download restores the stale controller over the temporary character. An empty download only gives a character when the controller is synced or the player was spectated.

Adds an inventory_sync.sync_<component> instance config field for the
controller, force, appearance, inventories, logistics, quick bar,
settings and recipe notifications. All default to on, which keeps the
current behaviour.
A component which is off on an instance is left alone there and its
fields are not stored from that instance. The controller merges each
upload with the stored data using the uploading instance's config, the
instance strips the fields from downloads before sending them over RCON,
and the scenario is told the enabled set on start and when it changes so
it can skip serializing them and skip the steps which replace the
character.
The controller is only synced together with the inventories, as switching
controller can destroy the character holding them. Without the controller
synced the player gets back the controller they had on the instance, only
character inventories move between instances, and a player without a
character keeps their inventory.

* Sync quick bar slots that hold a specific item
Quick bar slots of type item (a specific blueprint or blueprint book) were
dropped with a warning. Store the player inventory and slot that holds the item,
and after the inventories are restored point the quick bar slot at the stack in
that slot. Slots whose item is not in the inventories are dropped as before.
* Restore logistic group filters when the group is missing or empty
Named personal logistic groups were restored by name only, so a force
without a group of that name got an empty one, and the empty filters were
uploaded again on leave. Keep assigning the name only when the force's group
already has filters, otherwise also write the stored filters.

* Restore ghost player force before logistic slots
A player waiting to respawn had its personal logistic slots restored
before its force was set. The group lookup and the filter write then
used the force the player had on this server, which could write the
incoming requests into a group shared with other players.

The plugin syncs more than inventories now (settings, appearance, recipe
notifications), so name it for what it does. The package becomes
@clusterio/plugin-player_sync and every inventory_sync identifier follows.
A migration entrypoint renames the inventory_sync config fields, including
load_plugin, and the inventory view permission. The plugin moves
inventories.json in the database directory to player_sync.json and
storage.inventory_sync in saves to storage.player_sync itself, and closes
dialogs left open under the old GUI names on startup.
