Feature Request: Selective mining #14

Hey,

I kept a little track of things that were getting in my way while building and one thing that would really
make the disassembler shine even more, in my eyes, is that having a way to selectively ignore certain
blocks while not in precision mode.

To elaborate, I recently wanted to restructure a room that had a lot of facaded dense AE cable in it. As
there was a lot of automation running back and forth of the cable, I did want to pay close attention to
not disrupt large amount of cables while digging up the rather large room as quickly as possible. Of course, the issue is rather minor, but it brought me the idea that selective mining would really be
something I think I would find a lot of use for.

I thought a bit about how I would think this could work and came up with the following idea:
adding a 16k (or 64k, not sure about balancing yet) storage cell would allow the disassembler to
be put into the cell workbench. Items put in there are automatically whitelisted and everything that
is not in there will be ignored by the non-precision mode of the disassembler. With further upgrades
you could maybe also offer fuzzy mode, etc. I personally think this should use more power then just
normally using the assembler, it is not something you would want to have on all the time.

After giving it some thought, you basically limit the disassembler to max of 63 items, not sure if its it tasks to do such thing.

After further thought: wouldnt VeinMiner be a perfect match for that?
