Advanced haulers

Description
Added a new default order for transport ships "Advanced Ware Exchange". The main difference and purpose of the new command is the transportation of multiple wares at once using large transports (L or XL freighters).
The minimum order setup requires specifying two stations: from where to pick up the goods (alpha) and where to deliver the goods (beta). If desired, you can specify reverse delivery, if the order is used, for example, for two trading stations.
At the beginning of the delivery cycle, the ship will load into the cargo hold all wares that are sold at station alpha and that are simultaneously bought by station beta. The amount of wares is calculated as a complement to a deficit at the destination station, i.e. the less goods there are in the storage of the destination station, the more of these wares will be loaded into the ship's cargo hold. If this behavior is undesirable, then in the settings you can specify load wares in equal volumes.
If necessary, ships can be combined into a fleet - the main ship will copy the order to all subordinate transports.
What you should not expect from this mod:
* creation of complex supply chains, when more than 2 stations are involved in the delivery;
* transportation of raw ore, gas, condensate.

@Danger Close, patience. The fleet commander assigns/updates default behavior to subordinates at the beginning of the delivery cycle.

When I have one hauler mimic another, the orders turn red, saying it can't assist the commander with their default behavior.
Am I missing something?
Should I make them into a fleet in some other way?
