Migration

Older installations that used CopyPaste-based saves can migrate to the new built-in save system with:
`buildsaves.migrate`

This makes upgrading older servers much easier while moving to the new native BuildSaves backend.

object CanBuildSystemKillEntity(BaseEntity entity)
  {
      if (entity == null) return null;

      if (entity.ShortPrefabName == "autoturret_deployed")
          return false; // block BuildSystem from removing it

      return null; // allow normal BuildSystem behavior
  }

object CanBuildSystemHammerRemoveEntity(BaseEntity entity)
  {
      if (entity == null) return null;

      if (entity.ShortPrefabName == "wall.frame.shopfront")
          return false; // prevent hammer remove for this entity

      return null; // allow normal BuildSystem behavior
  }
