Blueprint Deconstruction Markers

by Elwin

Adds a marker for blueprints. When a blueprint containing markers is placed with super-force build, existing entities under the markers are marked for deconstruction and the marker ghosts remove themselves. Blueprints can now remove entities, not just add or replace them.
