Cover fetchLatestReleases and resolveReleaseChannel, the controller's
latest-releases cache with its on-disk offline fallback, the
LatestReleasesRequest round-trip, and FactorioServer.setTargetVersion.

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.
Fix incorrect suite name and attempting to test no version matches using
the "latest" version which always matches in the tests for the
FactorioServer.checkForUpdates method.
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.
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.
Use a separate folder for the TypeScript build for Node.js in the dist
folder. This makes each type of build consistently have its own output
folder instead of being interleaved with the Node.js build.
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.
