What does HandleEntitiesPacketCrashFix add?

Fixes a client crash caused by the server sending an entity packet for an entity type the client cannot resolve

Usually happens when first connecting to a server, sometimes multiple times. I don't have a clue why it happens but the fix is to filter out null entities and log an error instead.

The crash log looks something like this:

System.InvalidOperationException: Server sent me an entity packet for entity player, but I cannot instantiate/update it, entity is null
