Research direction

Start by locating Folia's implementation of the Bukkit world load and unload API and compare it with the current Bukkit API behavior. Review the previously closed pull request mentioned in the issue for context and unresolved constraints. Done means plugins can load worlds during startup and unload them without the API throwing an exception.
