Changes:
* Add extra documentation for remove_item.
This isn't as silly as it sounds: iterate a list containing items with
unique metadata each, and remove_item the first one you find, placing
into a different - fine, except the remove will invariably remove the
wrong one, leading to items being duplicated and others destroyed.
Arguably it's a bug, and Inventory::removeItem should actually remove
the item you tell it to. (i.e. if the passed ItemStack has metadata,
match it). But it seems reasonable to just document the behaviour
more clearly.
* Improve string_to_pos documentation.
* Clarify dig_node documentation (return value).
* Better on_step documentation.
* get_nodemeta -> get_meta.
* Other minor fixes.

Background
Wuzzy2: If you attempt to spawn a L-system tree with minetest.spawn_tree, you can make Minetest crash if it is attempted to pop an empty stack.
ShadowNinja: This shouldn't cause a segmentation fault, but it should throw a Lua error
Commit Description
This commit throws a Lua error instead of causing a segmentation fault. The server will still "crash" but will include a Lua backtrace.
L-Systems fix randomness
Unless a random seed is provided (via Lua treedef) seed the PRNG with a different seed for each tree
Resolves: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1469
Fix l-system crash when treedef random_level not set by Lua
Config settings:
profiling = true/false (gather statistics)
detailed_profiling = true/false (break mod times to callbacks)
Chat commands:
save_mod_profile saves current statistics in debug.txt and shows on console (on default loglevel)
Add DPI support for statbar
Move heart+bubble bar to Lua HUD
Add statbar size (based upon an idea by blue42u)
Add support for customizing breath and statbar
Don't use TOSERVER_RECEIVED_MEDIA but TOSERVER_CLIENT_READY as indicatio for client ready
Handle clients with protocol version < 23 (almost) same way as before
Make client tell server about it's version
Add client state to not send bogus player position updates prior init complete
Add access to statistics information (peer connction time,rtt,version)
Fix clients standing stalled in world while preloading item visuals (new clients only)
Add get_player_information to read client specific information from lua
