[Ready] [CR] Jumper cables!

Gather 'round, all, and let me tell you the story of the large-gauge cable:

It came from nothing (you must debug-spawn it; no recipe yet), and I could take it, and it would ask for a vehicle when [a]ctivated. Giving it a vehicle and looking at it again, I noticed I could tell how long it was (number of charges indicates how much further from the source point you can go).

I tried to bring the cable to a broken-down bus nearby, but woe, it was too short, and the cable fell off my car and I had to reel it back in (costs 200 moves (rather, max_charges * 10 moves)). So then I drove my car closer, and attached the cable to both vehicles.

The bus I'd attached my car to had gas, but no battery power. I knew this. Yet, I felt compelled to turn the ignition and, lo and behold, it started! It turned out that, through the cable, the bus had drained a little of the battery from my car, that it had needed to start.

Afterward, I tried to drive the bus away, and the cable on it disconnected and fell to the ground as soon as it started moving! I allowed as to how this was okay, though, since, having started the engine, the bus was able to keep going until I had it out of the way, off-road.

I picked up my cable and reeled it back in (by [a]ctivating it again and choosing to do so), and was able to drive my car until the next lousy vehicle abandoned in the middle of the road. That one had no gas =/

Still some issues with this one:

 - [x] ~~I'm not sure how to get the vpart to remove itself when you reel in a cable that used to be connected to two vehicles. Maybe~~ when one vehicle sheds its vpart, it should trigger the other vehicle to do the same.

 - [x] Alternators had to stop being on-demand chargers -- they now produce power whenever the engine is running. I don't expect this will make a *lot* of difference, but it does mean that some vehicles will start consuming a little more fuel than expected. Not sure anyone will notice, though.

 - [x] Reactors... I could've made them work the same way as alternators, but they tend to generate a lot more power-per-turn, and there's rarely somewhere for all that power to go. I figure, running full-power, a reactor will probably run through its fuel in less than one in-game minute at the quantities of plutonium normally found in the world. I might be wrong, though.

 - [x] I needed to make a function that would give me vehicle part-wise coordinates (i.e. in-vehicle coordinates) based on a set of reality bubble coordinates. This has the unfortunate issue that if two vehicles somehow manage to stand on the same tile, there will be trouble. On the other hand, why would a player attach a cable to something like that? They don't know what vehicle they're attaching it to any more than we do!

 - [x] Dragged vehicles ~~(probably) won't~~ shed their loose parts (i.e. jumper cable hookups). ~~I haven't even searched for where that is yet. That said, if the vehicles aren't in the same places, they can't transfer power back and forth, as power transmission is based on map coordinates.~~

 - [x] Similarly, changes in Z-level will result in some weird-ass behaviour. The cable item ~~should~~ does take care of that.

 - [x] There's no way to craft the cables, ~~nor do they spawn anywhere.~~ but they spawn in car trunks, garages, and other places.

 - [x] Removing an attached cable needs ~~a wrench and hacksaw.~~ just your hands.

 - [x] Removing it also takes 5 minutes but I won't be altering the vehicle activity. Maybe someone else can take a look at it later.

 - [x] ~~Power transmission should come at a loss, to disincent from making huge long chains of vehicles. Leaning towards 50% loss, to keep it simple.~~ Okay, no. ~~Let's see if I can do something else:~~ load the submaps with the connected vehicles. Rather, keep them loaded, for as long as any of the grid is inside the reality bubble. This is my ideal solution, ~~and I want it.~~

- [x] Power transfer should come at a loss, configurable somewhere (probably as a property of the vpart). Remember the loss will be working both ways -- inflating the amount of power drawn from remote vehicles and reducing the amount stored in remote vehicles. ~~Maybe... 5-10% for these store-bought high-end cables?~~ 1% for the short 3-meter cables, 5% for the 20-meter ones.

Nonetheless, have at it. I don't think anyone said it was impossible to make jumper cables, but if they had, they were clearly mistaken.

It's not a sight message, necessarily, but you can tell it's flopping loosely rather than being connected to something, as it should be.
