Describe the feature

Create a ghost item "Game Ticks" or "GT" to be drag and dropped from JEI/NEI/EMI that can be used in a processing pattern.

The GT item will tell the auto crafting that the items are available despite not being in storage. Setting a specific quantity of GT to result will be reflected on the crafting CPU's eta.

Patterns with GT as the ingredients would be placed into the interface/bus/provider that imports the passive crafts. Then the crafting CPU can snag the items as they're imported to prevent them from being used elsewhere.

Reasons why it should be considered

Scenerio:
Your infinite cobblestone generator produces 10 cobblestone per second(0.5/GT). You only have 1200 cobblestone in storage. You need 4000 stone bricks.
You request autocrafting of 4k stone bricks.
The current system errors not enough ingredients.
You could wait, you could craft what you can afford, or you could sudo schedule it using crafting cards and export busses.

With this implemented you can request the 4k stone bricks and the crafting cpu will grab the current stock+reserve space in the CPU for the difference+calculate the eta(1 item/2GT) or (2m 20s)
