Important functions to add

[MNoya]

BuildingHelper:PlaceBuilding(name, size, position)

• Places a new building on full health and returns the handle. Places grid nav blockers for its size.
• Skips the construction phase and doesn't require a builder, this is most important to place the "base" buildings for the players when the game starts.

BuildingHelper:UpgradeBuilding(building, name)

• To use after an upgrade is acquired (new "tier" of a building).
• Replaces the old building by a new one by name and keeps the same blockers and position.

I added PlaceBuilding at some point today.

Made it a bit more configurable, documentation is here. https://github.com/snipplets/Dota-2-Building-Helper/wiki/BuildingHelper:PlaceBuilding

I went for a simple version (no callbacks or anything) that adds the option to not block the gridnav (this handles upgrades, as an upgrade is simply RemoveSelf() and calling PlaceBuilding w/o blocking the gridnav again, just reassigning the .blockers to the newly created building)

I also added a BuildingHelper:BlockGridNavSquare(size, location) function that is called on both ways of placing buildings (with a rudimentary fix for 5size grid blocking, which was blocking only a 4square)

Oh that's a better way of doing it. Do you think its worth snapping PlaceBuilding to grid always as well? Otherwise you could end up with these weird offset buildings.

Could have it as an arg i suppose
