[MIRROR] [R&D Machine Overhaul, Part 1] - Various machines no longer require R&D machines to function. (#618)

* [R&D Machine Overhaul, Part 1] - Various machines no longer require R&D machines to function. (#53339) Removes various R&D machine requirements including circuit imprinters, protolathes, destructive analyzer and the mechfabs. All machines that previously required an R&D console to function are standalone, including omni protolathes and omni imprinters. Replaces "production"-class R&D consoles with civilian modular computers on all maps. There are no longer "production"-class consoles. Removes the concept of "core" R&D consoles. R&D consoles only research and handle tech disks and stuff. All existing core consoles have been switched to their basic archetype. Because it's a pain in the ass to manage, material reclaimation has been removed from the destructive analyzer. The destructive analyzer is now ONLY for destroying items and unlocking research nodes such as illegal and alien tech. * [R&D Machine Overhaul, Part 1] - Various machines no longer require R&D machines to function.
