Circuit network connections for splitters

[Gandamir]

TL;DR

Add circuit controls to splitters for automated lane prioritisation.

What ?

I would love to automate setting of priority for outputs (but why stop there) for splitters to control where low flow items end up based upon my current base priorities.

Why ?

With the addition of assembler automation in FF#394, I can see this being needed to help control some of the inputs/outputs from the assemblers.

But also as mentioned to control when running low on an item on where it ends up.

I really wanted to control my splitter with combinator circuits before for the mixed bus and randomly placed assembler cells. I had to use inserters instead, but it was ugly and I would have much preferred controlling splitters instead.

This would let us do some really cool stuff with multibus setups and programmable assemblers.

i wanted to create a topic with splitters controlled by the circuit network but here it is

but more important for me is to control filter with circuit network and control prority side also

Filter logic (black/whitelist) applied to splitter, you only have to manually select the side which is unfiltered (or give a direction signal L/R)
