[Rseding91] [0.17.69] Upgrade Planner on alternating underground belts

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

When having alternating red/yellow undergrounds being upgraded in editor mode, the result is wrong:

Thanks for the report. I know what causes that but I'm not sure if there's a nice solution.

The issue is:

* The "upgrade everything in the area the player selected" collects the entities to potentially upgrade and then goes over the entities found 1 at a time deciding what the found entity should be upgraded to.

* When the belt 1 is upgraded it goes from being "braided" to "not braided" because it's instant upgraded from standard to fast. That causes it to now be connected to belt 2.

* Belt 2 is upgraded and the "upgrade both ends" is used to do both ends of now-connected-to-the-just-upgraded-belt-1-underground-belt.

* Belt 3 is upgraded normally

And the process continues in a deterministic but seemingly 'random' observable order.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
