- Feature.register returns the config as a second value, so files
write `local feature, config = Feature.register(...)`.
- The lib is ExpScenario.Features and the instance class with its
fields sits on Feature._prototype, which is the __index, the same
shape as exp_commands.
- update_config only looks at values whose override was added,
removed, or replaced. _apply_field sets one value and returns it, so
the comparison happens while applying and the second loop only
raises. Overrides dropped from the previous set count as candidates
because the value reverts to its default.
- The `@setting name` tags are gone from the config comments.
- Protection is guarded as a whole instead of checking config.enabled
in one handler. The handlers also forget mined entities, so
get_entities and is_entity_protected now drop invalid references,
which also covers entities destroyed without an event. The list
getters are gone, the selection overlay builds its lists from
Protection.config.
- Chat and damage popups are one feature in control/popups.lua.
- ignore_admins and command_admin_only are removed, roles cover them.

Feature.to_set made every feature turn its config lists into sets on
each lookup, which is work the framework should do once. Sets are now a
field type of their own. Feature.set{...} declares one, the controller
sends a list, and _apply converts it when the override is applied, on
load and on update alike. Features index the config directly, and
to_set and its cache are gone.
Lists are explicit too. Feature.list{...} declares one, where before
any table of strings, and any empty table, counted as a list. Untagged
tables with string keys are nested sections, and other tables can not
be overridden. Feature.optional uses the same marker as list and set.
On the web side a string list can no longer name an input component,
so the cast that made one look like an object field is gone.

Review points from Cooldude:
- Feature.register(name[, config]) is required again and returns a
feature object. Each feature has its config, its fields, and its
overrides, so one registry holds all the data. Only the overrides are
stored. On load each feature points at its own stored table again.
- The methods are feature:guard(lib), feature:update_config(enabled,
values), and feature:is_enabled(). Feature.get(name) looks up a
feature, and commands flag the feature object.
- update_config raises on_config_updated once per changed value, with
the feature name, path, old value, and new value. The gui refresh only
reacts to the "enabled" path.
- apply only sets values. on_apply is gone. Lookup sets built from
lists use Feature.to_set, which is cached by the list itself. A
replaced list gets a new set, so the sets are also correct after a
load. Protection exposes getters for its protected names and types.
Web: settings use small inputs, the same size as the config pages.
Fields are shaped like clusterio config field definitions. A field
with an inputComponent renders the component registered with the web
interface, so the role setting now uses core's role input, and other
plugin inputs can be used later.

Framework:
- Intervals are gone. Update periods are hardcoded on_nth_tick values
again, since nobody has needed to change them.
- apply is a single loop over the declared fields and logs a warning
when an override is invalid. receive_update also warns about
unknown keys.
- Nested tables are addressed as "section.key". Lists of strings can be
overridden. Features.optional declares a value with no default.
- Features.on_apply rebuilds values derived from the config, such as
lookup sets. It also runs during on_load.
exp_roles is assumed to be present:
- AFK Kick picks a role (active_role_id) instead of a custom check
function.
- Chat Auto Reply, Protection, and Nuke Protection no longer take a
permission as a setting.
New features, each chosen for an edge case:
- Discord Alerts: conditional handlers, and a command map that becomes
a list.
- Entity Protection: lists turned into sets at load, and bookkeeping
that must keep running while disabled.
- Nuke Protection: config keyed by defines, flattened to a banned items
list.
- Popups: one config shared by two control files.
- Spawn Area: nested sections, and settings that only apply when the
map is created.
Page: now laid out like the role page. It has a search across every
setting, one long list with a sticky sidebar to jump between sections,
and the enabled switch separated at the front of each header with
Reset to defaults on the right. Changed rows are highlighted, and a
bottom bar offers Revert and Apply. Role settings use a role picker and
lists use a tag select.
