Adds some new elements to Mesecons mod, to make it easier to build more complex circuits.

New elements:

**Tools.**
- autowire tool (black) 

    Creates wires automaticaly by selectin starting position (left click) and ending position (right click). 
    You can keep clicking right, to continue the wire. The wire will automaticaly bend and go over other wires
    if possible. Click on other wire to connect to the existing wire.

- autodelete tool (red)

    Removes wires automaticaly. Left click is simple puch. Right click removes the entire wire
    to the next junction. 

    If you click on a junction, it will delete all wires that goes out of the junction.
    If you click on a gate, it will remove the gate and all adjacent (=connected) wires.

    If you click right on the air, it will remove the selected area.

- select tool (blue)

    Selects the area. Left click selects pos1, right click selects pos2. 
    Left click on air removes selection.

- automove tool (yellow)

    Allows you to move circuit, or part of the circuit without disconnecting wires.
    Left click moves to the left, right click moves to the right. You must face proper direction.
    Use blue tool to select region.

- circuit (blue book)

    Allows you to store your circuit, and paste it in other places. 
    Left click on air saves the circuit (selecion must be active).
    Left click on block creates selection of the circuit.
    Right click paste the circuit.

**Other elements.**
- 3 input logic gates: and, or, nand, nor
- latch and flipflop
- insulated xjunction

**Example**
This circuit was built in 60 seconds using circuit books.

Keep in ming that it's still work in progress. 
TODO list:
- add support for multiple users (right now only one user can use the tools, everything is shared)
- add page and book to keep multiple circuits in one place
- improve algorithm for autoconnection of the wires when the circuit is moved
