Color Parsing Fixes and Minecraft 26.2

Patch release fixing several color-parsing bugs, and updating the version library so Minecraft 26.2 is recognised.

Fixed

• Fixed the compact hex form &xff8800 always falling back to white. It now resolves to the color it names, the same as the other supported hex formats.
• Fixed plain text being pushed through the MiniMessage parser just because it contained a <. A legacy header like &8<&d&l Top &8> was treated as markup, which changed how its color codes rendered. Only real recognised tags trigger that path now.
• Fixed decorations bleeding into the rest of a message. A strikethrough or bold code stayed active after the next color code instead of being cleared, the way it works in vanilla chat.
• Fixed one of the legacy formatter methods not using the main color parser, so it could return a different color than the rest of the library for the same text.

Changed

• Updated the bundled VNC library to 1.3.0, which recognises Minecraft 26.2 and its snapshots, and detects more server and mod platforms.

Notes / Recommendations

• This is a drop-in replacement for 2.0.0. Nothing in the API changed, so plugins built against 2.0.0 keep working.
• If you were working around the &xff8800 format by using a different hex syntax, you can go back to whichever one you prefer.
