[1.8] Miscellaneous cleanups

[Oondanomala]

This is my excuse for procrastinating working on other mods :D

• Updated loom, Gradle, and shadow
• Cleaned up build script a bit
• Do not require the mod to be presents on other clients (happens with LAN worlds)
• Replaced EntityRendererInter with a proper accessor mixin
• Added prefixes to Cullable's method names to avoid method conflicts
• Made CullableMixin's fields @Unique for the same reason
• Optimize nametag rendering a bit by not calling canRenderName as renderName already checks it
• Micro optimization in WorldRendererMixin, avoid calling getEntityRenderObject when renderNametagsThroughWalls is disabled

Also, given how its been months, it would be nice if you made a new release on modrinth for 1.8, so people can actually benefit from the changes.

I'll look into it, seeing how I got a handful of PRs for 1.8/1.12/1.7.10, I think I should setup a compose setup to better maintain these build steps and potentially unify these 3 versions. Might be an interesting task.
