There is no more need for that since VoxelManip caching makes sure we
always get an answer to get_node_force.

Duplicating that small piece of code seems like a better idea than
putting the undo-forceloading code back into util.lua. This way, it is
easier to remember to remove that unneccesary code after a couple of
months / years, when people have transitioned. This also means we can
make changes to the code in util.lua without breaking old code.

The change that required this compatibility layer happened in
2014, so other mods have had a lot of time to update.

Instead of seperately looking for onstate receptors along equipotential
sections of the circuit before turning off, do that while already
modifying the VoxelManip. In case an onstate receptor is found, discard
the VoxelManip cache, otherwise commit it after turnoff is completed.

It is no longer possible for get_node_force to return nil if the target
location does, in fact, exist, because a VM will always be able to load
it (whereas a forceload might not, due to exhaustion of forceload
resources). So it is no longer necessary to handle get_node_force
returning nil by deferring processing.

VoxelManipulator-based transactions are used to hopefully speed up
scanning and replacing of networks of conductors when receptors start or
stop driving signals into them.

Rather than calling out through the Lua-to-C API for each node that
needs to be read or written, a group of map reads (and optionally
writes) can be grouped into a transaction. Access to map data within the
transaction is provided at high speed by means of VoxelManipulators.
Once the reads and writes are finished, the transaction can be committed
or aborted.
