Subject: [PATCH 7/8] Update lignumis/prototypes/compatibility/k2so.lua

Some refactoring. Decided to remove the technology entirely and have it be unlocked with Advanced Labs. Needed to directly fix Production Science research as well, since it was erroneously still requiring Steam and Wood. Once Optimization Science shows up, Steam/Wood should already be replaced with Gold Tech Cards.
