Got into Space exploration 2.0, and I really missed the old content reader (with surface support).
Content reader update was missing the to me crucial surfaces support.
So I started integrating features from several forks into a new version, adding some other functionality that I wanted as well.

Compared to Optera's last version of LTN content reader (1.0.3) and Content reader update, this version has:
Features:
- Updated for factorio 2.0
- Support placing reader on space platforms
- Surface filtering support
- (Re-)added HR graphics
- Added Exact mode for network ID.
Normally, LTN networks function as a bitmask to determine if station requested/provided are visible.
Exact mode only searches the exact same network ID.
- Applied on_event filtering to decrease needless event evaluation

Planed future improvements (the TODO list):
Features:
- Change way comtent reader settings are stored to support storing them in blueprints and entity settings copying.
- Add LTN combinator modernized style network ID select, hopefully compatible with its custom network icons as well.
- Update item icon and place in crafting list to be more in line with LTN combinator.
- Unify GUI icon style to LTN manager style.
- Building on the change in storing settings, making it so that all readers with the same settings are updated simultaniously withouth needing to re-gather info.
