This adds "universal palleting" for common intermediate products. Pallets can be loaded and unloaded at assembling machines -- like barrels! Each pallet holds 100 items for transport, with a pallet stack size of 1, and takes 10 seconds to (un)load.

This increases belt throughput substantially, at the cost of more logistical complexity at the beginning and end of transport.

The standardized 100 item stack size also makes pallets more dense for ores but less dense for more refined intermediates like circuits. This makes it more space efficient to palletize ore before transporting by train, but not everything.

With a stack size of 1, pallets are also significantly faster to unload from trains -- and can easily be transferred between cargo wagons with red inserters!

There is now a Setting to palletize all items in the game -- including items from mods. It works with several common mods I tested, but do let me know if you find issues with any other mods.
