Adds four hotkeys to control inserters:

CONTROL + R: rotate the pickup direction clockwise, skipping over the drop direction (SHIFT + R before 0.15)

CONTROL + SHIFT + R: rotate pickup direction anti-clockwise

CONTROL + F: toggle inserting items on near/far side of a transport belt

CONTROL + SHIFT + F: cycle inserting items on left/middle/right of destination - allows choice of lane on belt corners, or belts moving directly away from inserter

To use, simply place the cursor over the inserter you wish to change, and press the appropriate hotkey. Also works on ghosts/blueprints (note that ghost inserters won't respond visually to any changes, but they are visible with the Alt overlay turned on).
