Summary	0012979: Add "constructed ships do not inherit" to Control-Group-Specific settings
Description	I often have one or more docks (usually mercs) assigned to a control group with "suspend spending if resources less than" set to a high value so I only build the expensive ships when the resources I'm spending would otherwise go to waste. However, the ships I've built this way inherit the control group and therefore don't get repaired unless I'm in a position to build more of them. I have to manually clear this control group from all the expensive ships I've built on a regular basis so that they get repaired. (0011998 has a much more comprehensive proposal for solving the broader problem of limiting spending, but this seems like a quicker fix for a useful subset and it also means fewer ships running around in useless control groups.)
