Subject: [PATCH] Skip "distanceToSqr" call in "ServerEntity#sendChanges" if
 the delta movement hasn't changed

The "distanceToSqr" call is a bit expensive, so avoiding it is pretty nice, around ~15% calls are skipped with this check

We could also check if the x,y,z coordinates are equal, but for now, let's just keep the identity check, which also helps us since Minecraft's code does reuse the original delta movement Vec3 object
