EnderIO issue as they tell us to render it as smart cable, not dense.

I don't really see anything in the API to set that. I see GridFlags.DENSE_CAPACITY and AEColor.TRANSPARENT, but nothing about the cable type.

On the other hand, it does not make any sense to render a different cable type than the cable that is in that block---as we will always render a conduit with a connection plate. AE2 doesn't use connection plates, I think? Otherwise it'd make sense to render that on your side, too.

IGridHost#getCableConnectionType() is responsible for neogating the maximum supported cable render type between two sides as cables have to share them across a single blockspace.

thx

This enum really needs a "I_AM_NOT_AN_AE2_CABLE___RENDER_AS_YOURSELF_CONNECTING_TO_A_BLOCK" value...

dense cable always connect as 8 channels to blocks (as default AE blocks only can handle 8 channels), this would result in the old and wrong behaviour :P
