Particles: Add option to remove particles on collision
Adds the particle option `collision_removal = bool` Some particles are hard to use right now since they either go through solid blocks (without collision detection), and with collision detection enabled they (e.g. raindrops) would just stop dead on the floor and sit there until they expire, or worse, scrape along a wall or ceiling. We can solve the problem by adding a boolean flag that tells the particle to be removed if it ever collides with something. This will make it easier to add rain that doesn't fall through your roof or stick on the top of it. Or clouds and smoke that don't go through trees. Particles that collide with this flag are marked expired unconditionally, causing them to be treated like normal expired particles and cleaned up normally. Documentation is adjusted accordingly. An added bonus of this patch is that particles can potentially collide many times with nodes, and this reduces the amount of collisions to 1 (max), which may end up reducing particle load on the client.
