[SUGGESTION]: Distribution mule improvement - one way transfer

[Silencer]

**Mule Type: **
Distro

I wan to propose to add additional optional flag like one-way only, so distro mule don't do continuous movement of the same ware back again to source station.

Use case, I have next configuration:

1. Warehouse (WH) which collect all internal production goods and also used as supply point of intermediates for factories
2. Trade station (TS) which sell everything unused by production (leftovers)
   So for example if I have a lot of energy cells (EC) which I want to sell, I configured dist.mule to move leftovers from WH to TS, it takes leftover EC to TS, but if meantime EC was consumed by other factories which depends on WH then it will return back EC again, so it's just not possible to create proper dist.mule configuration where I just want to move leftovers to specific warehouse.

For example if I configured to keep 50% of EC in source station,
If something is moved for example 10% then 40% will be left and because of that dist.mule will try to fill this missed 10% by return back ware that was transferred before.

I see a lot of wares that was transferred back because of second trade loop, so I propose to avoid additional trade operation by using this flag to make this operation optional.

You can review my commit, if you ok with such changes I will create pull request:

I built a SimpleMule based on this MOD and I think it might do what you want. It's here: https://github.com/thijs/SimpleMule

Maybe I should rewrite it to be a pull request on this repo...
