An instance's factorio.version can now target a release channel such as
"stable" or "experimental" (any key from factorio.com/api/latest-releases)
in addition to "latest" and specific X.Y / X.Y.Z versions.
The controller proxies the latest-releases API through a ValueCache and
persists the last successful response to latest-releases.json, serving that
copy when the API is unreachable. On instance start the host resolves a
channel to the concrete version it points to and feeds it into the existing
checkForUpdates/findVersion path, so a channel auto-installs and runs like a
pinned version. The version selector in the web UI lists the available
channels alongside "latest".
Also clarifies the host log/error when a newer version cannot be downloaded
automatically because the host uses a direct (single-version) Factorio
install rather than a versioned directory.

These packages are obsoleted by the promises API to the built-in Node fs
module. The fs-extra package is also causing problems with broken APIs
that don't behave the same as Node's fs module, and throwing errors
without code properties on them.
The FactorioServer.checkForUpdates function would wrongfully assume that
the version running would always be listed on Wube's archive page, and
throw an error if this was not the case. Ignore version checking logic
if no suitable latest version could be found.
* Fix tests failing due to missmatched Factorio detection
When the configured factorio directory is full of junk then the tests
use the first directory it finds for one of its tests, while the server
code uses a more elaborate logic to figure this out.
Turns out this is complicating things more than needed. Simply trying
each entry in the directory and seeing if it works when treated as a
directory always work, regardsless of symlinks, junctions,
reparse-points or whatever else filesystem magic there is.
* Skip tests requiring Factorio if it's not present
Prevent confusing test failures by skipping all the tests that require a
working Factorio installation to sucteed, and print a warning at the end
of the test suite if tests may have been skipped due to this.
* Handle ENOTDIR when determining Factorio version
If the path to the factorio install contains a component that is not a
file then ENOTDIR may be returned on POSIX like systems. Treat this the
same as ENOENT so that detection logic works when used on a file.

By using sync file writes it prevents interrupts between the state change and the server process starting. Also adding error catching to reset the state following an error writing to the files.
Fixes: #676
Rewrite shutdown logic for Factorio servers to send a /quit command via
RCON for both Linux and Windows when stopping a server to avoid having
two confusingly intermixed code paths for Windows and Unix systems.
This makes shutdown on Windows tell clients the server shut down instead
of abruptly stoping to respond.
If during the startup of an instance the Factorio server is started up
to create a new save and the host shutdown in initiated then the
instance will be commanded to stop while the FactorioServer state is
"create". This was was not handled by Instance.stop leaving the
child_process running after the host is done shutting down.
Kill the FactorioServer on stop if the current state of it is stopping
or create to make sure the server actually stops.
Add suffixes like Ms and Ns to variables whos time unit is not in
seconds. This is aligning with a new code style of putting units
on variables that are not in SI base units.
Be consistent with the usage of tabs as indents in all JSON files in the
project. This makes it easier to configure editors to emit the right
indents when manually editing these files.
Remove extra whitespace, use more consistent spacing, add missing
semicolons, using dangling commas, break up long lines, consistent
multiline operator placement, add missing JSDoc strings and so on.
