[Enhancement] CPU Conservation

Adding thresholds whereby if config.cpu.conserve is true, then actions will be gated by their importance and the cpu bucket level.

config.cpu = { conserve: false, high: 9000, medium: 6000, low: 3000, critical: 1000, }

Roles like repairer, scout, and scoutnextroom would only be spawned over high threshold.
Ticks would be skipped below critical.
Autoattack would only commence over high threshold.
Remote rooms would not be reserved or mined if conserve is true.

• maybe at medium skip external rooms execution
• maybe at critical skip my rooms execution or execute

using this main.js for (about 3 days atm), i have now a better income(a factor two or maybe three) on control points per day

for verbose (debug) mode uncomment thie folowing lines
https://gist.github.com/mschultheiss83/d25cc6b54cb03934f6007cfbe6bcd1d4#file-src_main-js-L27 and
https://gist.github.com/mschultheiss83/d25cc6b54cb03934f6007cfbe6bcd1d4#file-src_main-js-L28

hint: if playing screeps via steam and you uncomment the lines L27+L28 then you will see your current bucket in your console, check it for about 10 to 15 ticks then change to "World", after 5 to 10 minutes go back to your main room and check your console again.

my experience is you save a lot CPU just by changing the view to "World"

Not sure about skip totally roles or actions. slow down or limit can be better.
For example, i seen that for me, i only get out of cpu when i started to manage nextroom. I supose it's because i only have 4 rooms so it's as expensive as it could be later ( tooangel is constantly around 1000 bucket and he looks to manage it good). The main issue i think is that tick skip cause slow down script and it can badly cause some problem if someone is attacking you. Your solution allow to stop to skip for exemple defenser (lower treshold than nextroom management) but you're bucket will still get stuck at nextroom treshold and all actions which have an highter treshold will still get skiped until you're nextroom is active ( totally skiped, not only slow down, dunno if it can createroles/action to get skiped definitly if you constantly need expensive things and always on a treshold)).
(Skip repairer while defensing can be a problem, and repairer will only start back when the nextroom become active for have some bucket to use.
I think the ideal solution should be to use more often bucket and cpu limit as argument for action or as dynamic config (e.g role amount).

basicly your right, it maybe not the best, but i what i see is that i skip one or two ticks than every thing is working for 3 to 5 five ticks than skip one and so on... so having one room exec skipped every five ticks even with someone is attacking me is better than before, for me:-)

• next should be a better creep.handle for these roles: scout, carry, harvester, sourcer especially carry and sourcer consume a lot of CPU
