[feature/enhancement] Upgrade gui overhaul

after several topics for the electrolytic seperator i'd recommend to redesign the information shown:

there are 5 categories that relate to different aspects of consumption/storage and some others

work speed, energy consumption, energy storage, gas consumption, gas storage, anchor, ...

instead of showing effect for every upgrade and having no information at all if nothing is selected, rather have categories and save the multipliers of every upgrade to the corresponding categories. If nothing is selected, then show the overall result.

That means:
if a machine has 10 * speed and 10 * energy (and effect is both times 10x) then the output (when nothing is selected) could look like that:
workspeed: 10x
energy consumption: 1x
energy storage: 10x
gas consumption: 10x
gas storage: 1x
anchor: false (0)
...

now if i select the speed category it'd look like that:
workspeed: 10x
energy consumption: 10x
energy storage: 1x
gas consumption: 10x
gas storage: 1x
anchor: false (0)
...

and if i select the energy category it'd look like that:
workspeed: 1x
energy consumption: 0.1x
energy storage: 10x
gas consumption: 1x
gas storage: 1x
anchor: false (0)
...

If an anchor upgrade was installed then it would read true (x) where x is the radius of the loaded chunks. One maybe even could omit the true/false then

That way it'd be easy to see what upgrades have what effect for every category and to easily find out the overall stats.

And as i said, that'd clarify what is being changed by every upgrade type for the corresponding machine, including the electrolytic seperator.
