Expose map rendering in API #585

Description

@joshuaprince

Hello, I've been using the Squaremap API in my server's private plugin for a while now, and it works great for my needs. One thing I'd love to be have in my plugin is observability and control of the rendering system, so API consumers could:

  • Start a render over a specific area (equivalent to radiusrender, but ideally allowing any rectangle to be rendered)
  • Query the progress of any ongoing renders
  • Pause or cancel ongoing renders

I would find this useful so I could trigger a re-render of areas I know have changed, and wait to send players to that area until the map has updated there. Right now, I just dispatch commands, but this is especially clunky for querying ongoing render progress, and there's no way to enqueue multiple regions to render.

Thank you in advance if you consider this!
