Thanks!

* Put in a new destroy_on_load_if_more_than_this_number_on_planet xml flag that is used on the various guardians and eyes that can transform into other types, and set it to generally be around 10 for them, at least for now. In savegames where there were 27000 or similar of these, it now strips those down on load.
** This is obviously just a band-aid in the main, but it's a useful tool for fixing existing savegames if nothing else.

* Put in a change that should make sure that units that are transforming, or being killed because of being hacked, or things along those lines, should definitely always get removed at the end of the frame when they are told to despawn.
** There's not a huge amount of evidence for this functioning properly yet, but it seems to in preliminary testing. Basically if you are playing and start seeing way too many temperamental guardians again, then this is probably not working as well as we hoped.
