feat: make the radiator report its own internal state

Browse Source 
v1.1.0 loaded cleanly and still did nothing, so the NetworkValue rewrite
was not the whole story. Rather than keep guessing at which link in the
chain is dead, add indicator icons bound to the internal signals.

An indicator draws while its toggle is off, so one glance at a radiator
now separates the cases that were previously indistinguishable:

  wrench absent   -> the AddBase never merged; nothing in the mod runs
  thermal missile -> no thermal-ammo signal arriving
  resource        -> no hold signal arriving from a battery

Tests check that every added indicator binds to a component that exists
and to a sprite that exists in the indicators atlas.

@@ -136,6 +136,25 @@ An auto-idled radiator shows the same "powered off" indicator icon as a manually
switched-off one, and stops emitting its steam plume. That icon appearing on a
radiator you did *not* switch off is the mod working.
## Reading the diagnostic icons
The radiator reports its own internal state through indicator icons. An icon is
drawn while its toggle is **off**, so:
| Icon on a radiator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🔧 wrench (`MissingComponent`) | **Always expected.** Its absence means the mod's components never merged onto the part, and nothing else in the mod is running. |
| thermal missile | No thermal-ammo signal is reaching this radiator — no launcher on its heat network is set to Thermal Canister Missiles. |
| resource | No hold signal is reaching this radiator — no thermal battery on its network is asking it to hold. |
| power-off | The radiator is idle: either you switched it off, or the automation idled it. |
A correctly working setup, on a ship with a thermal launcher and a battery below
the vent ceiling, shows **the wrench alone**.
These make the failure legible rather than guessable: wrench missing points at
the patch mechanism, either other icon points at the specific signal that is
dead.
## Status
Validated against game data version 0.30.4c, and confirmed to load cleanly
