It's a very janky workaround for #132
MKS drills don't use ModuleResourceHarvester / ModuleAsteroidDrill modules, instead using separate USI_Harvester modules.

These patches remove the heat generation from USI_harvester and create a ModuleSystemHeatHarvester module outputting hopefully similar heat generation - I did not test the systemPower values. It has 0 efficiency, so extracts nothing.

The implementation is pretty clunky, since it separates resource extraction from heat generation:

In ithis image the Gypsum rate, load and efficiency are created by USI-MKS .
SystemHeat tab and Surface Harvester are created by SystemHeat.

The Start / Stop Gypsum drill is USI-MKS resource extraction toggle .
The Start / Stop Surface Harvester toggle is SystemHeat heat generation toggle.
Yes, you can turn on just the MKS part and it will extract without creating heat - I dind't find a way to remove that limitation.
