Peripherals can now have multiple types:
- A single primary type. This is the same as the current idea of a
type - some identifier which (mostly) uniquely identifies this kind
of peripheral. For instance, "speaker" or "minecraft:chest".
- 0 or more "additional" types. These are more like traits, and
describe what other behaviour the peripheral has - is it an
inventory? Does it supply additional peripherals (like a wired
modem)?.
This is mostly intended for the generic peripheral system, but it might
prove useful elsewhere too - we'll have to see!
- peripheral.getType (and modem.getTypeRemote) now returns 1 or more
values, rather than exactly one.
- Add a new peripheral.hasType (and modem.hasTypeRemote) function which
determines if a peripheral has the given type (primary or
additional).
- Change peripheral.find and all internal peripheral methods to use
peripheral.hasType instead.
- Update the peripherals program to show all types
This effectively allows you to do things like
`peripheral.find("inventory")` to find all inventories.
This also rewrites the introduction to the peripheral API, hopefully
making it a little more useful.
This uses pre-commit [1] to check patches are well formed and run
several linters on them. We currently do some boring things (check files
are syntactically valid) as well as some project-specific ones:
- Run illuaminate on the Lua files
- Run checkstyle on Java

More importantly, `./gradlew check' actually runs the in-game tests,
which makes the CI steps look a little more sensible again.
Somewhat depressing that one of the longest files (15th) in CC:T is the
build script.
