Workstations usability #293

Description

As of ICBM-1.7.10-2.15.1b431 / VoltzEngine-1.7.10-1.4.0b84, the workstations are a bit confusing to understand for new players.

Here are few issues that are impacting usability:
1- workstation and station names are mixed up.

  • Warhead station (item name) vs Warhead workstation (registry name and GUI),
  • vs Missile station
  • vs Missile workstation
    => Could we stick to workstation all around?

2- Missile station vs Missile workstation are 2 different blocks with very close names.
=> Maybe rename to Missile workstation and Missile automated workstation ? or Micro-missile workstation and Missile workstation? (I'm not sure what they really do)

3- GUI slots are 'blank' with limited hints on their usage. Could we show the expected items as shadows in the slot, or add some text? Maybe even add a tooltip explaining what goes there?

4- When checking in NEI, there's no 'hint' tooltips on the Workstation explaining what they're used for.
=> I guess they support different kind of missile (Rockets vs Small missile vs Missile?). Could we have a text about that in there?
