Add logistics groups for deconstruction planners

[Sophisticaited]

TL;DR

Allowing deconstruction planners to have reference to logistics groups would be great

What?

In the deconstruction planner, if you could add logistic groups like you could other items that would enhance the utility of deconstruction planners. In the same way you can add logistics groups to, say, combinators, that would be useful also for deconstruction planners.

This feature would be even better if each logistics group could be toggled as a whitelist or a blacklist.

The qty in for an item in the logistics group would not need to mean anything; if the item is listed then it applies to the deconstruction planner. Alternatively, if the overall logistics group qty added to zero, then it could be treated as the item not in the deconstruction planner.

This would have the effect that deconstruction planners were also dynamic (i.e. if the logistics group changes, then so does the deconstruction planner). Custom deconstruction planners like this (which I feel like are underused) are useful when doing complex modifications to large blueprinted sections of a factory.

Also, there is currently a feature for logistics groups that allow the items in a blueprint to be directly created in a logistics group (by dragging the blueprint over the logistics group /area. If logistics groups were added to deconstruction planners, it would be sensible (or maybe even collateral) for the same function (dragging in a blueprint to add its items to the list) for deconstruction planners.

Why?

This makes selecting things in deconstruction planners like selecting things in most other contexts (i.e. inventory logistics, combinators, etc). It would also allow much more efficient usage of the deconstruction planner.

It may even make things like deconstructing one blueprint in the same area as constructing another blueprint a little more efficient and be useful for things like blueprint books / collections.
