Convert player, to roboport! ;)

Maybe not literally, but here is Idea:
We all got blueprints... blueprints, that are most usable when you have construction robots.
Maybe it would be possible to make them more usable, by allowing player to build blueprints.
Here are 2 ideas of how:
- (more automated) Player moves near blueprints with specific key pressed (like key to pickup items) and ghosts in vicinity are being built (if, there is item in inventory)
- (less autoamted) Allow player to, for example Ctrl+Shift click (or any other shortcut) on ghost to build it.
It is still manual labor, but it allows you utilize your build blueprints.
Main reason for this, is that It is sometimes is really hard to place ghosts and build on them... for example if you have to place inserters every 2nd or 3rd cell.
