Add USI Life Support resources

As requested by forum user Benji13.
The aim is to provide eight days' worth of provisions for a typical three-Kerbal crew, similar to TAC-LS.
Playing around with USI-LS and reading the wiki, here's what I've gathered:
- Each Kerbal consumes
Supplies
and produceMulch
at a one-to-one ratio - 16.2 units per six-hour day - Kerbals also require
ElectricCharge
(ostensibly for atmospheric/thermal climate control) - Greenhouses convert
Fertilizer
andMulch
into supplies
In terms of SDHI SMS:
Supplies
andMulch
should be treated as solids; this means they cannot be stored in or transferred to/from the Service Module- The Service Module provides enough
ElectricCharge
via solar panels or its fuel cell assembly - For a typical eight-day mission profile, no Greenhouses and
Fertilizer
are needed
Therefore, USI-LS integration is just a simple matter of adding enough Supplies
and Mulch
to the Mk1-2 Pod itself via MM patch.
