RedFoxIV 17ea2b7853 EE - Power Supply and Load Stuff (#1033)
* Power Supply and Load Stuff (#2505)

# Description

Changes how `ApcPowerReceiverComponent` works a bit.
Separated the `Load` variable into main and side power loads.
If main power demand is not met, the machine is considered unpowered.
Side power demand is "optional", as can be met only partially (or not at
all) and the device will continue to operate.
Depending on the device, this may have different negative effects on its
operaton. such as lights dimming and weapon rechargers not charging at
full speed.

This was first intended to fix an annoying bug with `ChargerComponent`
and `ApcPowerReceiverBatteryComponent`, that made the powernet spaz out
for a while if their power demand was too high.
This is now fixed.
