Bukkit

Config changes worth highlighting:
We fixed a bug which meant that suffix colour codes were not closed at the end of the prefix. This has surprised a few people who were using this to colour chat text. You can properly colour chat text using the essentials chat config section.

Change Log:

• Update Czech translation.
  
• Add new command /hat and update translate keys as well as fix colour codes.
  
• Add a LagMeter (ticks per second) to the /gc command. This command can now be accessed with /lag as well.
  
• Added a simple /vanish command, with the extra node essentials.vanish.see
  If you require a more advanced vanish solution checkout VanishNoPacket from mbaxter.
