Make maximum_wire_distance readable from inside lua

It would be great if the wiring distance of electric poles could be readable from the game.entity_prototypes.
This would allow FARL to use modded poles without having to resort to scanning the entities in data.lua and creating a fake recipe with the distance in it.

can't you use data.raw to access those prototypes?

data.raw isn't accessible from within control.lua, only things provided through
http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaG ... prototypes
Which leads to this ugly piece of code:

)

I thought I added this...
oops.. I guess not. I'll add it tomorrow if I don't forget again.
