Custom minimal payload for auto request missing construction materials

[Xoriun]

TLDR:
Add setting for custom minimal payload for the auto requests on space platforms.


When setting a space platform to auto request missing construction materials, only full stacks get delivered to the platform, which in some cases is really annoying. Eg. I'd like to just paste a new platform (launch a starter pack and past the blueprint of a working platform), which then builds itself though the auto request feature, but has some (for now) quite expensive entities (I don't have full stacks of higher level modules lying around), or in some cases just 1 or 2 entities for a 50-stack item.

I know, I could just wait for the platform to be done and then send all items back down, but since the custom minimal payload feature already exists for manual requests, it would be really nice to have the option to enable this for the automatic requests of a specific platform.

It's especially annoying since turning on automatic logistic requests removes the ability to send manual rockets (without temporarily disabling it).

Another option would be to allow automatically sending rockets that add up to near a full load of different materials

What I dont like about this, is it doesn't fill in the extra space.
So if my items = 1kg. I just wasted the remaining 999kg's
