Extends original game block limits to make that feature a viable option.

Features

• Adds groups of blocks sharing one total count of built ones
• Allows limits to be counted for individual players, factions and even grids (additional could be added via API by other plugins)
• As side feature allows limiting maximum PCU per grid type
• Also adds ability to disable that annoying 1 PCU each block from projections that aren't even built
• TODO: Add syncing of limits across nexus cluster (efficiently removing ability to abuse limits or get problems from jumping between sectors)

# note: currently is not tested and will not work
nexusSync: false

# true if you want to limit maximum PCU per grid
limitGridsPcu: false

# maximum PCU per grid type (if limitGridsPcu is true)
largeGridPcu: 16000
smallGridPcu: 6000

# if set to true, each block in projection will cost 1 PCU toward grid having the projector block (default game behavior)
countProjectionPcu: true
