Players were able to cheese hard block collection by surrounding hard blocks with softer blocks. For example, it was possible to mine up to 8 obsidian at cobblestone break-speed by targeting cobblestone when breaking. To solve this, a new `AbstractBlockState` mixin was introduced. I tried to solve this at other levels (preferably without a mixin), but wasn't able to get all the necessary information anywhere other than at the BlockState level. The minimal breaking delta (which is effectively the same as maximum block hardness) is used instead of the targeted block hardness. Using the average basically didn't solve the issue—it was possible to surround a hard block with softer blocks to 'dilute' the hardness.

Fixes #14
Currently it's possible to mine hard blocks quickly by targeting softer blocks and letting the AoE harvest the harder blocks. For example, a player can mine up to 8 obsidian with a "vanilla hammer" at cobblestone speed by placing cobblestone in the center and targeting that.
The solution is a bit weird, but that's mostly due to how block breaking works in vanilla. The lowest in the call-chain where we have enough information to assess block hardness is at
Block#calcBlockBreakingDelta. I tried averaging the hardnesses/deltas, but that still allowed you to 'dilute' harder blocks break-speed penalty by including more soft blocks in the AoE. I think taking the minimum delta (read: maximum hardness) is the best answer here.
