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.

Use the defines.prototypes data structure from the game to find which
prototype sub-types belong in the same base type, and export icons based
on these base type.
This renames the planets category to space-location, signal to
virtual-signal and plits item up into item and fluid. And changes the
exported metadata to include prototypes with no icons, as future code
might want to use it to for example enumerate all item prototypes.
The role of a slave as a host for Factorio servers is not well reflected
in its name and has caused confusion among users. Rename slave to host
to better reflect its role as a host of Factorio servers.
