Ghost placement snap

TL;DR

When hand-placing ghosts with a matching item in hand, introduce snap for correct placement.

What?

Currently, if you have an assembler ghost down and try to place it by hand, you have to aim your mouse at the center of the ghost to ensure correct placement by hand. If you click on any of the edge tiles, assembler will be placed incorrectly and delete the ghost.

Why?

This is a very simple QoL feature. Does not make the game easier, but removes a lot of unnecessary frustrating moments one might encounter during the early game.
