Make autochop estimate the number of logs you get from a tree

[expwnent]

Instead of periodically designating all trees in the selected burrows, designate enough trees to produce enough wood to get to max_logs, or all of them if there aren't enough.

If autochop can estimate how much wood a tree can produce, would it be possible set it to prioritize cutting the oldest trees (or the ones that are not likely to grow anymore) first?

[expwnent]

Sure.

I could work on this one. It's a feature I was looking for.

I was able to get the right amount of logs for a willow tree with the following code.

                    df::plant_tree_tile** tiles = plant->tree_info->body;
                    df::plant_tree_tile* tilesRow;
                    int trunks = 0;
                    for (int i = 0; i < plant->tree_info->body_height; i++) {
                        tilesRow = tiles[i];
                        for (int j = 0; j < plant->tree_info->dim_y*plant->tree_info->dim_x; j++) {
                            trunks += tilesRow[j].bits.trunk;
                        }
                    }
                    out << "Trunks: " << trunks << std::endl;;

Cool! Do you have other plans or questions, and/or do you plan on putting up a PR?

If it helps, feel free to get in touch at any of these places as well.

if @aljohnston112 is otherwise unable to make a pr, i'd like to look into implementing this.
