Add `worldedit_shortcommands`, which adds aliases to commonly used chat commands that allow users to type in long command names faster. Idea is courtesy of @electricface.

For example, `//move ? 5` can now be written as `//m ? 5`.

+Many commands also have shorter names that can be typed faster. For example, if we wanted to use `//move ? 5`, we could instead type `//m ? 5`. All shortened names are listed below:
+
+| Short Name | Original Name      |
+|:-----------|:-------------------|
+| `//i`      | `//inspect`        |
+| `//rst`    | `//reset`          |

+| `//umk`    | `//unmark`         |
