feat(autoweapon): auto kb stick

[liquidsquid1]

switches to kb stick if an enemy is close, then maintains that distance with a weapon that does damage. useful for both closet and blatant

Thanks for the PR!

A couple of things a reviewer will likely want to look at:

• The knockback check returns before the shield/mace branches, so while a target is within Range it overrides AutoShieldBreak and AutoMace entirely. If that's intended it's probably worth saying so in the description, since it's a behaviour change for people already using those toggles.
• Knockback already exists as an option in Preferred (added in feat(AutoWeapon): add knockback item & spear type #7841), so it may be worth explaining in the PR body how the two interact.
• There are two other open PRs touching determineWeaponSlot — feat(AutoWeapon): implement advanced priority system #8417 and feat(combat): implement 1.8 block priority and void knockback priority in AutoWeapon #8432 — so expect some conflict/overlap there.

Docs impact: the AutoWeapon page's settings table would need the new KnockbackStick group and its Range value, plus a line on the precedence above. No need to do that here — just flagging it so it doesn't get lost.

That's so epic

I personally dont see the benefit in this, but I think it would be cooler if it detects void near a customizable range for deciding to use kb stick. So for example if range is set to 4 blocks, it would look for void on x z axis in 4x range, and if detected the autoweapon will use kb stick, if not it will use sword.

That's good if they decide to add proper kb displace soon at least

anyone who read ts would figure what out it does instantly, you don't need a comment... 🥀

added for skimming so people can skip that code block entirely but i can remove it 👍

ok lol

realistically useless but it should switch to the stick with the most enchantment level, not the closest one.
