[New build - EXPERIMENTAL] 21w24a: RGB controller gate

A new RGB controller gate has been added to the brick roaster.
Use it to control the color and brightness over time on light and glow bricks.

Feature:

Up to 4 colors
duration tweak
gain tweak: a higher gain will spend more time on the color and less inside transition.
Loop or Ping pong.
You can set the controller to be active or not with a simple switch.
For now colors are RGB input, but a color wheel will be added.

This build also introduced some big change on the command system behind the scene.
This allows leveraging on the new data-oriented performance stack and will be used extensively in upcoming updates.

Bugfixes:

#3860 Game breaks on Quit To Title

[New build - EXPERIMENTAL] 21w23a: Build Option Menu

This build introduces the new Build Option menu. Activate it with F1.
The goal is to provide more flexibility for power user, be easily discoverable to newer player and limit the explosion of keybinds.
You will be able to tweak a few options mainly relative to the new grid logic:

Min and Max grid: allow a faster grid cycling through when you know you wont need to go over or under a particular size.
Sub grid for placement: Pick a finer grid to position a brick. This also means that system no longer have a finer placement grid.
Global vs Local grid: this replaces the G keybind.
Tweak glow color: you can now toggle off the glow color tweak if you want a precise glow color.

New Features:

Stations turrets are now functional: You will need to activate first the turret targeting function inside the Station Computer.

This is still wip as more features will be added.
