currently when making a new demolisher entity via create_entity the quality parameter is not valid for that type of entity.

i haven't figured out if i can yet make a demolisher for a territory yet, im guessing possibly not.

My goal is to be able to analysis the spawned demolisher for a territory and replace it with another one that has modified quality.

im guessing if the demolisher prototype exposes an ID for its assigned territory and quality is a valid param for that entity type, we can dynamically create extra demolishers or replace existing ones with higher quality if you "create before delete" so the territory doesn't unlock.

Quickly checked that it is indeed possible to create demolishers with varying levels of qualities, both in the editor and via LuaSurface::create_entity. Now in 2.0.61, there is a full API for reading and controlling demolishers and their territories.
