Recycling Recipes Unit Test

Background

Recycling recipes are automatically created by the Quality mod in data-updates stage. This runs before community mods have a change to update recipe ingredients as official mods run first. This leads to a common scenario of the base recipe and recycling recipe being out of sync.

Idea

Create a new unit test. It should cycle through all recycling recipes. For each recipe, match it up to it's base recipe. Compare the ingredients of the base recipe with the products of the recycling recipe. The recycling recipe should produce the same items or it should recycle to itself.

I have submitted a request to move recycling recipe generation to data-final-fixes. This would make the error less common but not eliminate it entirely (recipe changes in data-final-fixes would also need to update recycling recipes).
