Create a trade queue, provide insights into trading an delivery

[mokun]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• It is patently difficult to make the Delivery and Trade mission beneficial to both parties
• Player Commander should be allowed to pre-select what he would like to trade in and trade away and the ability to turn on and off the Auto buy and sell.

Describe the rationale

• How a trading and delivery mission is made possible should NOT be a mystery to players.

Describe the goal(s) you have in mind

• Add a trade queue and allow player commander to choose a list of goods to trade (what to buy and sell)
• Creates a red alert when those goods that are specified to be sold fall below a certain quantity or amount
• Provide parameters that reveal a bit more underlining work of how the Auto buy and sell work.
• Pause a simulation if a trading or delivery mission in the mission planning phase has just been reviewed and approved. Allow and await for players' confirmation prior to embarking the trade/delivery.

Screenshots

• The Auto feature doesn't need to be fancy. It can be a toggle switch. It's ON by default.
• The question is, when it's off, what do we want players to decide in a trade ?

Describe the solution you desire to see

• Use checkboxes to allow a player to customize the type of trades allowed to be considered
• If the auto feature of trade is not selected, then, a decision panel would be presented for players to go through a series of questions to arbitrate if he agrees to a buy or a sell decision.

Specifications

• pre 3.7.0 build 9058

Additional context

• Based on some points in Display a list of goods that are desired to be sold and eventually sold in Trading/Delivery mission #732

Can we add a trade queue ? It will be a list of goods that the player would like to buy and sell.

Yes I think this is quite easy. The user would create the BuyList manually instead of automatic now.

We could even reuse some elements of the UI from mission creation wizard for selecting what amount resources and parts to buy and sell.

The list of resources in this queue will inevitably impact the creation of trade and delivery mission.

Yes definitely. I'll do the change to Goods Manager first
