new event TabCompleteRequestEvent and deprecate TabCompleteEvent

Players with permission bungeecord.multiple_connect can have multiple connections with the same Minecraft account.
The UUID and player name is altered to avoid collision with other player:
UUID : xxxxxxxx-xxxx-VIxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
- The UUID version (V above) is now the provided version + 8 (for online player, it is 4, so it becomes C).
- The I digit will follow the index of the duplicated player : first duplicated player is 1, second one is 2.
- The name of the player will be the real player name, followed by the character "." (dot) followed by the duplication index.

Bedrock accounts connected using the Floodgate plugin will not be able to connect multiple times due to the risk of xUID collision.

 BungeeCord
 ==========
-The most reliable Minecraft server portal suite.
-------------------------------------------------
-BungeeCord is a piece of Java software which allows a user to link multiple Minecraft servers together, allowing players to teleport between them and access advanced features. This makes it perfect for servers looking to expand their player base and spread across multiple gameplay styles.
+Layer 7 proxy designed to link Minecraft servers.
+--------------------------------------------------
 
-History
--------
-For a long time developers have tried to create these mythical 'cloud' systems as outlined above. Until now, none of them have succeeded in making a fully open source and reliable 'cloud'. You may have already noticed my quoting of the word 'cloud', and this is one of the last times you will see it in this document. BungeeCord is **NOT** a 'cloud'. The actual meaning of the aforementioned word is quoted below:
+BungeeCord is a sophisticated proxy and API designed mainly to teleport players between multiple Minecraft servers. It is the latest incarnation of similar software written by the author from 2011-present.
 
->The use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet).
+Information
+-----------
+BungeeCord is maintained by [SpigotMC](https://www.spigotmc.org/) and has its own [discussion thread](https://www.spigotmc.org/go/bungeecord) with plenty of helpful information and links.
 
-BungeeCord does not do this and therefore is not a 'cloud'. Please do not refer to it as one, since the owners and operators of real clouds will get very angry, and you will be seen as ignorant and stupid. Instead I encourage you to use the term 'Server Port Suite' or something to that effect.
+### Security warning
 
-Installation & Usage
---------------------
-For and in depth guide to the installation and usage of BungeeCord you should check the current primary download location. The current link is provided below for your convenience.
+As your Minecraft servers have to run without authentication (online-mode=false) for BungeeCord to work, this poses a new security risk. Users may connect to your servers directly, under any username they wish to use. The kick "If you wish to use IP forwarding, please enable it in your BungeeCord config as well!" does not protect your Spigot servers.
 
-<http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bungeecord.392/>
+To combat this, you need to restrict access to these servers for example with a firewall (please see [firewall guide](https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/firewall-guide/)).
+
+Source
+------
+Source code is currently available on [GitHub](https://www.spigotmc.org/go/bungeecord-git).
+
+Binaries
+--------
+Precompiled binaries are available for end users on [Jenkins](https://www.spigotmc.org/go/bungeecord-dl).

+ *         )
+ *         .build()

+ * <h2>Flag a {@link CommandNode} as executable or not</h2>
+ * The implementation of a {@link com.mojang.brigadier.Command Command} used in
+ * {@link ArgumentBuilder#executes(com.mojang.brigadier.Command)} will never be
+ * executed. This will only tell to the client if the current node is
+ * executable or not.

+ *     <li>
+ *         {@code builder.executes(null)} (default) to mark the node as not
+ *         executable.
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *         {@code builder.executes(a -> 0)}, or any non null argument, to mark

+ *         optional).

+ * The implementation of a SuggestionProvider used in
+ * {@link RequiredArgumentBuilder#suggests(SuggestionProvider)} will never be
+ * executed. This will only tell to the client how to deal with the
+ * auto-completion of the argument.
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li>
+ *         {@code builder.suggests(null)} (default) to disable auto-completion
+ *         for this argument.
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *         {@code builder.suggests(SuggestionRegistry.ALL_RECIPES)} to suggest
+ *         Minecraft’s recipes.
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *         {@code builder.suggests(SuggestionRegistry.AVAILABLE_SOUNDS)} to

+ *     </li>

+ *     <li>
+ *         {@code builder.suggests(SuggestionRegistry.ASK_SERVER)}, or any
+ *         other non null argument, to make the Minecraft client ask

+ * {@code ArgumentRegistry.minecraft*()} methods to use a {@code minecraft:*}
+ * argument type.
+ *
+ * <h2>Limitations with brigadier API</h2>
+ * This event is only used for the client to show command syntax, suggest
+ * sub-commands and color the arguments in the chat box. The command execution
+ * needs to be implemented using {@link PluginManager#registerCommand(Plugin,
+ * Command)} and the server-side tab-completion using {@link TabCompleteEvent}
