[Request] Add option to merge stacks of the same food

[faeldray]

Currently foods with different creation times do not stack, which can fill an inventory very quickly. It would be great if there was a way to stack them, either with a keybind or by dragging and dropping onto each other. If it's possible to average out the decay, that would be perfect. For example, a piece of beef at 100% remaining and another at 50% remaining would become a stack of 2 beef at 75% remaining.

Also having a config option for how much of a difference is allowed between the stacks would be great. Maybe a modpack dev would allow for a 10% or 25% difference between the remaining time but anything more would be too much, so players aren't constantly refreshing almost decayed stacks just by merging a new item every once in a while.

Two or more stacks of food with different spoilage values can already be combined in the crafting grid akin to damaged tools for convenience, taking the highest spoilage value in the process. I can possibly think of other methods like combining them in the inventory or stack them with a keybind, but currently not a top priority.

I too would absolutely love to have a hotkey to merge them, as well as change the percentage for when stacks auto merge on pickup.
