Allow resource_drain_rate to be greater than 100

TL;DR
Allow mining-drill.resource_drain_rate to be greater than 100.
What?
Im suggesting to lift the upper limit of mining-drill.resource_drain_rate. This in turn increases the consumption of ore proportionally. At 200 every mining action would consume 2 ores from the patch (instead of 1) and only output a single piece of ore.
Why?
As the author of
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BigDrills, which basically adds larger, faster mining drills I've noticed that with higher tiers of mining drills, there is no incentive to use lower tier ones. Adding a value > 100 to higher tier drills would add a tradeoff between resource output speed and longevity of mining patches, favoring lower tier drill.

On a related note, it would be nice if resource_drain_rate could be 0. Currently, 0 is changed to 1. I'd like to make a mod that changes legendary drills to never deplete resources.
