Modern Industrialization Mod Machines Integration

Currently, sigils only sees the internal steam fluid tank in machines within modern industrialization

This is related to this issue on the Modern Industrialization issue tracker AztechMC/Modern-Industrialization#579 and similarly it seems to affect many other machines from Fabric mods and ports of Forge mods to Fabric. All of them only support pullItem, items, pushItem, and we can't operate on specific slots.

Unfortunately many of SIGILS features rely on being able to pipe directly to specific slots, so any modification to SIGILS that would allow it to work with these deficient inventories would need to make a lot of compromises. For instance, we won't know how much of an item we can actually transfer to these inventories, we don't know how much the inventory can actually store, and we can't make sure the items go where you want them to.

But a feature could be added to SIGILS to let it use these machines with limited functionality. The implementation steps are:

• When initializing machines, detect if getItemDetail is missing, but the other three functions are available
• If yes, then initialize the machine with a single slot, which secretly represents all slots on the machine
• In the pipe runner function, detect if the slot belongs to a deficient machine, and if so, use the pushItem with different arguments
• Let the editor know about deficient machines, so that it can display a warning to the user
