Add Rocket Load Sizes, to answer whether it's better to launch an item or components #369

I'd like to know which method uses more launches:

Full launch of yellow rockets (25).
Enough explosive and iron plate to make that many yellow rockets.
Enough coal and sulfur to make the explosives, and iron plate.

Possible Method: Add launches / second to display preferences.

This loads or calculates the weight of each item and displays the rocket capacity in the item tooltips. I don't think this completes either #369 or #381, but it loads data needed for them. The calculations done by Factorio aren't documented, but most of my results match at least one of https://rocketcal.cc/weights.json or Factorio. (I skipped some harder-to-acquire items, such as the spidertron rocket launchers, and all virtual items, such as artillery remotes.)
