Fix redundant roads.

Overmind is often building 2 or 3 roads between the same startPos and andPos.

Solution: RoadPlanner's costMatrix needs to contain existing roads as well as roads planned (even if planned during the same tick). Weight existing and planned roads in a way so new roads are only built if truly beneficial.

This is already the intended mechanic with it being truly beneficial already

It's not that the path is redundant, it's due to being the same length and cost when re-pathing the road after cache is cleared

Then just give really existing roads (in the Screeps world) a slightly lower weight in the cM when re-pathing? Where is the issue? We save 100s of ticks and energy ...

The roads shown in that room are not redundant because only one path is actively maintained. We discussed the future solution in Slack -- new road network logic will be introduced in a future update which will include changes to transporter logic, link placement, and road routing.
