A dedicated server's park mods could only be spawned from its console, an admin's chat or a vote,
so a server plugin could not bring out the park its game is played in. A new permission,
server.parks, gives a server copy reskate.server.parks(), which lists the park mods set up with
whether each fits the map running now and is spawned (its objects and minutes left), and
reskate.server.park_spawn(name, minutes?) and park_remove(name), which return ok or false and why.
They go through park-mod add and remove, so the park limits, the map check and the chat lines stay
the server's. Their "[parks]" lines are logged "by plugin <id>". A name is a park mod's own (1 to 16
of a-z 0-9 - _) and minutes are 1 to 1440, or none for until removed. Reading the park files is not
part of this: a plugin brings what it needs to know about a park in its own package.
dingosdk_server_plugin_tests spawns and removes a park mod through a plugin and checks what it is
refused; dingosdk_plugin_tests checks the API on a server copy, and that a player's copy and a
plugin without server.parks cannot use it.

- park-mod reload <name> [<name>...] reads a spawned park's file again and
swaps its objects in place, keeping its timer; all or none, within
park_limits, and players are told the park was updated
- park-mod config add <name> | <mod folder> | <map> [| <key>] and
park-mod config remove <name> change maps.park_mods without a restart,
validated like the startup config and saved like the map pool; removing a
spawned park's entry removes the park too
- The client's admin "/" menu lists reload, config add and config remove
- README.txt and help cover the new commands; server_park_mods tests reload
(in place, timer kept, refused when not spawned or broken) and config
add/remove (saved, refusals, by an admin)

- A missing mod folder reads "The mod folder "x" is not in the Mods folder."
instead of printing where the server is installed; the reason can reach chat
through an admin's command or a vote
- server_park_mods checks the exact message

- maps.park_mods binds a Park Editor park mod (Mods/<folder>/parks/<key>.park.json)
to a name and the map it was built on; maps.park_limits caps the parks and
objects spawned at once (3 and 512 by default)
- park-mod list | add <name> [<name>...] [minutes] | remove <name> [<name>...] | clear,
from the console, as /park-mod by admins, and by players through custom votes
- A spawned park is the layout of the server's own SteamID and epoch, sent like a
player's: games since 1.0.0 already show it, it counts against no player's
object limit, nobody can move or delete it, and it stays when players leave
- Objects players' games would not take (not Build Kit items, broken values) are
skipped and logged; a missing or broken park is an error line when spawning
- Optional expiry (1-1440 min) with a warning in chat a minute before; every
park goes on a map change and none survive a restart
- [parks] log lines name who did it: console, the admin, or "a vote"; a vote's
refusal reaches chat
- park-mod is reserved for custom commands; README.txt documents the settings,
commands and a park/unpark vote
