SWAP GATES FOR MORE DEVICES

Swap gates option is now part of more devices. The button is more generic and part of the TOP menu.

It seems that many players find swapping gates useful. It is also neccesary to make some devices complete, like changing direction of conveyor join, otherwise pushing into pipes wouldn't be possible.

In addition previously supported devices: storage, base warehouse, conveyor joint, oxygen generator, swapping gates support other devices such as:

smelters
constructors
manufacturers
hydro generators
circular saw
barns
