Upgrade recipes

Recipes to upgrade lower tier items into higher tier ones. The recipes are added in a new tab and can only be crafted by the player. The ingredients are as close to the normal recipes as possible, while still being beneficial over just discarding the lower tier items. The following recipes are available:

Wood chest -> Iron chest
Iron chest -> Steel chest
Burner inserter -> Inserter
Small electric pole -> Medium electric pole
Medium electric pole -> Big electric pole
Big electric pole -> Substation
Burner mining drill -> Electric mining drill
Stone furnace -> Steel furnace
Steel furnace -> Electric furnace
Boiler -> Heat exchanger
Steam engine -> Steam turbine
Pistol -> Submachine gun
Shotgun -> Combat shotgun
Cannon shell -> Explosive cannon shell
Uranium cannon shell -> Explosive uranium cannon shell
Explosive rocket -> Atomic bomb
Light armor -> Heavy armor
Heavy armor -> Modular armor
Modular armor -> Power armor
Power armor -> Power armor MK2

Wood to coal

A recipe to smelt two wood into one coal.

Oil reordering

Oil and barrel recipes, fluids and solid fuel are reordered to be more consistent.

New fluid and barrel order: Water, (Steam,) Crude oil, Heavy oil, Light oil, Petroleum gas, Sulfuric acid, Lubricant
Solid fuel recipes order: From Heavy oil, Light oil, Petroleum gas
Solid fuel is moved behind Sulfur

Misc reordering

Some items that I feel are in the wrong place in the recipe book:

Repair pack is moved in front of robots
Artillery wagon is moved behind artillery turret

Vehicle technologies

In vanilla the tank has a flamethrower even if you haven't research them yet, same with the submachine gun and the car. The dev's don't consider this a bug. I fixed it anyway:

Automobilism requires military
Tank requires flamethrower
