It would be highly useful to have a way for Lua to mark an object for deconstruction, similar to the Deconstruction Planner.

Use Cases:

• Automated harvesting of trees/crops (such as with a mod I am working on)
• Automated building removal (automated expansion?)
• Cancel deconstruction

Proposed interface:
entity.deconstruct(on=True)

• on: Whether the entity should set or unset deconstruction flag.

entity.deconstructing = False
True if object is waiting for deconstruction.

It is done for 0.9.4, although little bit differently.
