Change Instance class to be a subclass of Link and refactor the
communication to and establisment of instances to use a virtual
connection between the slave and the instance. This is simplifies the
implementation of plugin communication for instances.
Replace InstanceRequest with a forwardTo option to Request which does
the task of forwarding in a much cleaner way.
Rework client.js to support running multiple instances at once and be
managed remotely and implement the neccessary communication
infrastructure for this.
Due to circular dependencies on the implementation of this the master
branch is significantly broken after this.
Break out the server process management to a new FactorioServer class in
lib/factorio. This class takes responsibility for managing a factorio
server, communicating with it and handling the stopping of it. It also
replaces the previous effort to do this in lib/factorioServer.
This change also updates the version of rcon-client, and since the
author of it has updated it to use UTF-8 the fork is no longer
necessary. It also removes the messageInterface implementation
in favor of just calling the rcon-client library directly since
this has rate limiting logic built in.
The lib/factorio library is intended to abstract all the interfacing
that happens with Factorio.
Add symlinkMods function which takes an instance and a shared mods
folder as input and updates or creates the instance mods folder from it
by symlinking the mods in the shared mods folder to the instance mods
folder.
On Windows this uses hard links as the symlinks require elevated
privileges.
Replace the instancedirectory variable with an Instance class that holds
the directory and has a .path() to get paths relative to the instance
directory.
