Sandbox safer reactor selfreset

This is a sandbox blueprint! It requires infinite sources so you can slap it down on any old map to look at. It is not intended for normal play.

Just screwing around with the new microprocessors. This demonstrates:

- Auto-disabling/enabling thorium reactors based on stored coolant level, so they don't blow up. (You can control the unloader instead, but you may find there's too much Thorium on the belt for it to react in time...)
- Drawing a decay graph of the current coolant level, with color-coding for when it reaches the disable level.
- Hysteresis using a memory cell, which lets the example refill itself and loop.
- A fluid router "held shut" by power, which is used to intentionally create a leak at the end to kick off the restart.

This stuff just made Thorium power way safer. The router control also means you could share surplus coolant with your Meltdowns etc. without dangerously starving the reactors, building the fluid version of an overflow gate.

(I've since found you can probably read the cryofluid level off the reactors themselves, which'd be even safer in case of pipeline hits.)
