Add Trains (Cargo Wagon and Fluid Wagon) as "preferred belt" option #178

Use case: For a larger base, (Ex. 900 Science/m) It would be really helpful to be able to see that 68060.149 iron plates/m is (items / (stacksize * 40)) = 17.015 Cargo Wagons/m

This feature could help in choosing train lengths when designing a base, in addition to (IMO) being a really interesting way to look at the data. Fluid wagons have a capacity, but not a stack size, so I think that calculation is easier than cargo.

This calculator is very helpful. Thank you for the work you've done so far.
