While the host has no controller session, events between the instance
and the controller are dropped in both directions, and research_sync
only synced technologies on instance start. A technology finished during
the outage stayed unresearched on the controller and on every other
instance until the instance restarted.
On a new session the instance now runs the same technology sync as on
start, before taking the cluster queue. Contributions made while the
controller is unreachable are summed per technology and sent on connect
or resume, since progress from several instances can't be rebuilt from a
state sync that keeps the highest progress. A finish made while the
connection was dropped triggers the sync on resume too.
sync_technologies now runs while the game is running, so it skips
writing progress to a technology that finished after the dump.

research_queue_api is compat.version_ge("2.0.56"), named like player_sync's version checks, so it doesn't read as a
setting. Handlers check it at the top; only the three research queue events are registered behind it.

Document the cluster research queue in the plugin README and the root
README. Review fixes: ipairs for queue order, event annotations on the new
Lua handlers, an IpcQueue type, a test for clearing the queue, and drop the
controller import from test/missing.js.

The last event of a tick now decides which player the queue edit is attributed to.

The save module reports queue edits on a following tile, applies the cluster
queue (dropping unknown technologies), and offers a lab-window checkbox.
All new events are gated on Factorio 2.0+.

The on_research_finished handler read ignore_research_finished from the
research_sync global, which is the table of RCON functions and never has that
field. The flag that sync_technologies and research_technology set lives on the
script data, so the check never returned and research that came from the
controller was sent back as newly finished. The handler now reads the flag from
the script data.

The largest source was compat.lua returning the setmetatable call
directly, which made emmylua infer the module type from the metatable
rather than the LibCompat class, hiding every field from consumers.
The remaining fixes are nil guards on gui element and character
accesses, type annotations for research_sync's script data and
player_auth's rcon arguments, casts where the api's read/write union
types are wider than the values at runtime, and scoped diagnostic
disables for the vendored json.lua and the version fallback code that
touches apis removed from the current typedefs.

When the level of a technology changes either by setting level
directly or by setting researched to true, the saved progress of the
research is reset only if the technology is not the current research.
If during the initial synchronisation with the controller an instance
has progressed on a multi level research, it's the current research, and
the controller's level of that research is higher, then the level is set
to the higher level and the game keeps the progress. This in turn
results in all of the progress made on the previous level being added to
the higher level.
Fix by setting the progress to zero when changing the level or
researched status of a technology that's the active research.
The role of the master server as the party controlling every part of the
cluster is not well reflected in its name and has caused confusion among
users on several occasions. Rename master to controller to better
reflects its role.
Technologies that were disabled were ignored completely by research sync
due to a missunderstanding of what disabled means. Disabled does not
mean the tech is somehow inaccessible and completely out of play, it
only means it can't be selected in the technology screen.
Ignore the enabled status of technologies in research_sync to fix a
crash that happened when a mod enables a disabled by default technology
and the player attempts to research it.
Convert code indents to tabs to be consistent with the rest of the
JavaScript code. This commits covers all of the lua code, some of the
hand written JSON code and the lone HTML and CSS files that were not
using tabs.
Fix crash when technologiy level stored on the master is greater than
the max_level for the technology in Factorio. This can happen with mods
that for example reduce the max_level from inifity to a finite level.
