table.unpack will often stop at the first nil value, meaning some event
arguments may be discarded. By storing the number of arguments through
table.pack, and then using that count when unpacking, we can ensure all
values are returned/resumed with.
This ensures fs.list and fs.find always return the same result.
For some reason, the ComputerCraft jar was being packaged differently on
some platforms, causing files to appear in a different order. As
computers depend on the colors API being loaded before colours, we need
to ensure that they are loaded in a consistent order.
This may be useful when you want your tool to also provide additional
methods. For instance, a pickaxe could provide methods to check whether
it can break the block in front.
Threads that aren't daemon threads can keep the JVM from shutting down.
I'm certain that this doesn't happen very often but if one of these
threads hangs it can cause the rest of the JVM to not shut down
when the main thread exits.
By making all threads daemon threads if the main thread terminates
the rest of these threads will shut down.
Before we were setting the default as the previous value each time. Here
we store each property in a separate field, allowing us to access them
without setting a default.
The side marks the direction relative to the wire, rather than the side
of the block it is attempting to connect to. Therefore needs to be
flipped.

Packets will be discarded if the sending player is not currently
interacting with the appropriate computer. This ensures players cannot
control other people's computers.
This is enforced by checking if the current container is a "computer
container", and this container holds the correct computer.
If the path includes no wildcards then it just checks it exists.
If it does, instead of scanning the entire tree, it works out the last
directory before the wildcard and starts scanning from there.
Closes#89
