[Automate] Let players influence which chest gets an output item

Add some logic to let players influence which chest receives an output item.

See Nexus bug report.

Maybe push the output into connected chests as such (until full):

  1. chests where Categorize Chests is installed and it categorises the output item into those chests (requires adding an API to Categorize Chests);
  2. chests with 'output' in the name;
  3. any connected chest.

While Automate could have more heuristics (e.g. check for an existing stack of items), I want to minimise the complexity and iterations for output.

Done in develop for the upcoming Automate 1.9 release.

Categorize Chests isn't open-source, so new proposed order:

  1. chests with 'output' in the name;
  2. chests that already contain that item type;
  3. any chest.
