[MC-126514] Inconsistent block handling options in /setblock, /fill, /clone and structures

Not all options to handle blocks are available for the 4 ways of modifying blocks in the world.

block handling option	`/setblock`	`/fill`	`/clone`	structure block
replace only certain blocks	❌	✔ `replace`	❌	❌
replace only air	✔ `keep`	✔ `keep`	❌	❌
drop the item of the blocks	✔ `destroy`	✔ `destroy`	❌	❌
only copy certain blocks	-	-	✔ `filtered`	❌
copy everything except air	-	-	✔ `masked`	✔ structure voids

Boxes marked with "-" are not necessary as /setblock and /fill only allow to place one type of block

Rotation could also be added to this list, as structure blocks are the only block-modifying one on this list that has a rotation option.

This is purely about changing block ids in the world, but of course a /state command that could do more than rotation would be ideal.

Masked copies everything except air, and structure voids allow spaces to be ignored when copying a structure. Neither of them has the feature of only copying air.

@Aaron Rhodes Fixed. Thanks

Affects 1.13-pre6. Might want to add rotation to the list, but just for /clone.

"filtered" doesn't only replace certain blocks, it only clones certain blocks.

Can I bump this in any sort of way?
