Fixed essentia level maintaining #245

You could previously level maintain the thaumic energistics fake essentia item, but this wouldn't work properly due to the continuous buildup of the fake items. It would work initially, but once you added or removed any essentia, it would not make more.

To fix this, this commit checks if the maintained item is an essentia stack and does two things.

First, it will convert NEI addon aspects to thaumic energistics. This is because it's very difficult to get the thaumic energistics item (to configure maintainers).
Side note: I tried to add some logic to AE's SlotFake that converts addon aspects to thaumic energistics aspects, but it broke level maintainers. It added very little, so I scrapped that idea and just made level maintainers treat the two fake essentia items the same.

Second, it will check the essentia cache to get the stack size instead of the item cache. Since essentia exists in its own cache, you cannot check the item cache to find its stored quantity. It would also be possible to check the fluid cache, but there wasn't much point since it was trivial to access the essentia cache instead.
The thaumic energistics item aspect is still needed to craft the essentia, so we only need to get the essentia stack size.
