Autocrafter / Patterns - Advanced Patterns + Both Input / Output Support

Describe your enhancement

There are a couple of things that would be useful additions to the autocrafters:

  1. The ability to input and output at the same time from a single side as many blocks support this functionality (eg. Mekanism machines & Iron Furnaces).
  2. An advanced pattern which allows input into separate sides (that isn't being physically touched by the autocrafter). An example of this need is the Mekanism Infuser and Mekanism Osmium Compressor where the "extra" item needs to go in a separate slot. There is workarounds but it would be a nice addition to the mod.

Example workaround using LaserIO:

  1. I think this would violate DRY principles a bit. I like how currently the difference between importing/exporting is clear in the blocks and you can see it at a glance instead of via magical slots.

  2. That goes too far for Refined Storage. We have to know at what we are good at. Other mods are better at routing items into correct slots etc. Most of the time it's not needed to be that granular and again, it makes it so you can't see from which side the autocrafter is going to insert at a glance from the world.
