Add support for adding and removing robots from network using smart inserter, requester and provider chests. More specifically allow smart inserters to read the number of each type of robots in the entire connected network from any roboport and allow the inserter to add or remove robots from the network based on limiting the number desired.

When the inserter is told to remove a robot, one should fly there if one of the appropriate type isn't already docked at that roboport.

Thanks

This is generally implemented in v0.12. What's missing is, that robots could be outtaken under controlled conditions, but that is AFAIK promised to come in 0.13.
