Helg2 8a2e6f0eb8 Autolathe, protolathe, mech fab and comp printer now use defines for matter bins values. Also some production ui do. (#76020)
Changed hardcoded matter bins values to use defined
`SHEET_MATERIAL_AMOUNT` for following stuff: autolathe, protolathe, mech
fabricator and component printer.

`Material Access Bar` and `MaterialIcon` used for protolathes, circuit
printers and etc. now also use defined `SHEET_MATERIAL_AMOUNT`, via
static ui data, to prevent same issues in future.

Also changed some notes in /// parts just because why not.

Datum Component System (DCS)

Concept

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
