Portable music playback for Better than Adventure!

This mod adds the Walkperson®, an item that can store and play back music discs while moving.

Features:

Play, pause, and rewind any music disc
Store up to 10 discs at once
Mostly works in multiplayer (it doesn't sync if a player enters render distance while the music is playing)

Credits:

@Lazlo!!! on the Better than Adventure discord server for the new texture
@NovaStorm93 on github for fixing a crash when sorting the Walkpersons inventory

A screenshot of the Walkperson gui, there is a play button and a greyed out rewind button since no music is currently playing
