Add seitan (wheat gluten)

Can't believe I never even thought of using this as a meat alternative. I was blinded by soy when seitan was right in front of me the whole time.
How I'm thinking this should be implemented:
- Turn wheat into flour. Not sure the particular crafting recipe that should be used--could change depending on whether or not HarvestCraft is installed
- Turn flour + water into dough. Alternative in-world recipe would be putting flour in a water source block--the water would be consumed and it would transform into dough.
- To turn dough into raw seitan, you'd need to "wash" the dough 3 or 4 times. Washing would basically be the consumption of a water source block while inside water. (note: if it consumes the source block of any flowing block it is inside, then that might work to make it harder to automate using a simple 2x2 infinite pool).
- Raw seitan would then be able to be cooked in a furnace to create seitan, and that would be used as a meat substitute.
If you ever do anything with soy in this mod, screw tofu. Do tempeh instead, it is heavily underused.
Totally agree, I'm a big fan of tempeh. It's unlikely that I'll add soy, though, as one of my self-imposed guidelines is to not add any new crops.
Well, you could rely on another mod's soy, such as Harvestcraft, which you have already done with your BBQ tofu.
