Config option for whether batching machines have increased upgrade effectiveness #86

Currently, the maximum speed formula for the Processing Array, in EU/t, is:

Processing Array max speed = (Machine or recipe max EU/t + Total upgrade EU/t) × Number of machines

According to some discussion starting at https://discord.com/channels/754461970870173767/754461971499450512/1320111445643624579, some players and modpack authors want upgrades to still be effective in the Processing Array, but not with a multiplied effect.

To implement this, I think a config option should be added, which, when set, changes the max speed formula to the following:

Processing Array max speed = (Machine or recipe max EU/t × Number of machines) + Total upgrade EU/t

With this change, running a Processing Array with 64 machines at 400 EU/t each will require (400 - 32) × 64 = 23,552 EU/t worth of upgrades (46 Highly Advanced Upgrades) instead of 400 - 32 = 368 EU/t worth of upgrades (23 Advanced upgrades).

A similar change can be applied for other batching machines as well.
"Machine or recipe max EU/t" depends on the efficiency formula used; for the default efficiency formula, it is a constant 32 EU/t.
