Patch notes for v0.7.8

New entity replace/upgrade system

It is now possible to place a new entity over an existing one in order to upgrade/downgrade it.
Placing a storage over an existing one can replace its type (e.g. loose to liquid), tier or orientation (rotation, flip).
A small storage (T1/2) can now be replaced with a large one (T3/4).
Simplified product refunds system, old products that are not used in the new tier are simply returned without any conversion.
The Upgrade tool now supports an option for downgrade and for quick-replace using unity.
When mass-placing entities (blueprint or copy/paste):
- identical entity replacement is no longer reported as error,
- valid replacements are highlighted purple,
- indirect replacements are highlighted orange (e.g. moving of an entity by a few tiles),
- it is required to hold Shift to confirm replacement or ignore collisions, and
- it is possible to upgrade/downgrade transports when placing them over existing ones.
It is now possible to place a blueprint as deconstruction-only that marks matching entities for deconstruction without building anything.

Additional new features and improvements

Added a new tool for placing text decals by typing the text.
Added tool for re-coloring of existing decals.
Added an option to confine the cursor to the window.
Added support for surfaces in cut/copy/paste tools and in blueprints.
Added toggles to allow copy/cut-pasting of any combination of entities, surfaces, and decals.
Added toggles to allow placing blueprints without entities, surfaces, or decals.
Added priorities for train stations within a group.
Added an option for the Ore sorter to auto-assign products to sort, enabled by default for newly placed sorters.
Unity tool now shows products needed for quick-delivery.
Unity tools can now selectively ignore buildings or surfaces, and surfaces are ignored by default.
Train car statistics such as power or fuel tank capacity are now shown when hovering a car in the train designer.
Clicking on refuel failed notification now cycles through affected vehicles.
Last used transport is now persisted in addition to the selected tier in the toolbar.
Increased the maximum number of mixed materials in vehicles from 3 to 8.
Rocket assemblies and launch pads now adhere to logistics zone rules. Additionally, rocket assemblies can now specify the target zone for rockets.
