Allow color coding of input and output signal for assemblers 'set recipe', 'read contents', and 'read ingredients' signals.

Currently if you want to read the ingredient items in an assembler and compare it against the recipe needed, you cannot do that dynamically on the same assembler because the signals get merged in whatever wire you use to output it. You would have to have a 2nd assembler with the same recipe to serve as the recipe signal and use the assembler of interest as the source of the inventory signal. Also isolating the 'set recipe' to a specific wire will help immensely as you're not setting it to inventory or recipe ingredient signals.
Why?
This would be useful to extract signals based on what is missing or to shut off inserters based on multiples of a recipe. Or to qqqdynamically prioritize different inserters, such as prioritizing the 'recycle loop' inserter over the inserters from the main line for circuit set recipe assemblers to prevent buildup in the output boxes.
