Describe the feature

(Extracted from #5987)

1- Give the P.A.T. the ability to highlight Patterns Providers in world and print cords on the chat (Using the “!” button), something like what the prototype trousers fork of ae2 did in 1.12. It's great to debug in which one of the machines that have the same name the crafting progress got stuck or is too slow, or where the hell of the big base that machine was placed, or where is a Pattern Provider that should have been hidden but it was forgotten.
2- Button for more search modes [Search for pattern output/ Search for pattern input/ Search for Pattern Provider's name/ All], sometimes we are looking for a specific pattern but there is a possibility that we need to know which pattern is the one who’s crafting is eating all of the searched resource and the third option deal with the fact that in most cases when placing patterns in the P.A.T. is more convenient to search for the name of the machine than to try remember what patterns are inside it.
3- Add one button to [Hide full Patterns Providers / Don’t hide full Patterns Providers], I don’t need to see full Pattern Providers. Shadow back to #2929, only refresh the Hide Full when reopen because we don’t want to misplace a pattern in the last Provider slot and it disappear instantly.
4- Add one button to [Show only Patterns Providers connected to Molecular Assemblers / Hide Patterns Providers connected to Molecular Assemblers / Show both]. Would be neat to have one P.A.T. for Molecular Assemblers and other for processing machines. Or just use this easy toggleable button to see only the molecular assemblers when inserting patterns.
Of course, these last 2 buttons (3 and 4 suggestions) need to be independent so big customization potential. And for sanity reasons automatically go back to the current behavior when using the search box because we don’t want to search a pattern that is in a full Provider and don’t find it because Hide full is on.

Reasons why it should be considered
