Add Milk Crates: Record, Milk, and Syndicate Record variants

[KamilaTech]

Short description

Adds three milk crate storage structures with gradual fill sprites that update as the crate is filled:

• Milk Crate: stores milk cartons (milk, soy milk, oat milk, full or empty) and nothing else. Holds 4 cartons, with a sprite state for every count from empty to full.
• Record Crate: stores vinyl sleeves from the Radio Host equipment (Radio Host Job and Equipment #5288) and nothing else. Holds 8 sleeves across 6 fill states.
• Syndicate Milk Crate: a blood-red version of the record crate, flagged as syndicate contraband.

The milk and record crates can be built from 4 plastic sheets (Storage crafting category). The syndicate crate is intentionally absent from the crafting menu but keeps its construction graph node, so it can still be deconstructed. All crates deconstruct with a screwdriver and refund their plastic.

Implementation notes:

• New VinylSleeve tag on the sleeve bases and a new MilkCarton tag on the milk carton entities (both marked with Starlight comments where ported/upstream files are touched) drive the storage whitelists.
• Fill visuals use the same StorageFillVisualizer pattern as the CD rack.
• All new content lives under the _Starlight trees; sprites are in _Starlight/Objects/Storage/milkcrate.rsi (17 states).

Why we need to add this

The Radio Host update (#5288) added vinyl sleeves but no dedicated way to store or transport a collection. The record crate gives radio hosts tidy vinyl storage that visibly fills up, the milk crate gives service a themed carton carrier, and the syndicate variant provides flavor storage for contraband records.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary

Adds three storage structures:

• MilkCrate stores milk cartons and empty cartons. It holds up to four items.
• RecordMilkCrate stores up to eight vinyl sleeves.
• SyndicateMilkCrate provides a blood-red contraband variant for vinyl sleeves.

The milk and record crates use MilkCarton and VinylSleeve whitelist tags. StorageFillVisualizer displays crate fill states. The first two crates can be crafted from four plastic sheets. All crates can be deconstructed with a screwdriver and return plastic sheets. The syndicate crate has no crafting recipe but remains deconstructible.

The change adds crate prototypes, construction graphs and recipes, tags, carton and vinyl-sleeve tag assignments, and milk-crate sprite metadata.

Gameplay impact

Players can store carton and vinyl-sleeve items in dedicated containers. Crate appearance changes as storage fills. Syndicate crates remain restricted to contraband acquisition while supporting normal deconstruction.

Risk areas

• Incorrect whitelist tags could prevent valid items from being stored.
• Construction graph changes could affect placement, material consumption, or deconstruction refunds.
• Fill-state configuration and sprite state names must remain synchronized.
• The syndicate crate must remain excluded from crafting.

Guideline gaps

• No localization changes are shown for the new crate names and descriptions.
• No Starlight ownership comments are shown in the new prototype files.
• The available PR context does not document the design rationale for the storage capacities or the syndicate crate’s visual and gameplay treatment.

Walkthrough

Added three milk crate variants with tagged storage, gradual fill sprites, damage behavior, construction recipes, and disassembly paths. Added milk carton and vinyl sleeve tags to supported entities.
