Bagley & Farmer autocatalytic metabolism

One of the artificial chemistries of Banzhaf & Yamamoto, Artificial Chemistries (MIT Press, 2015), §6.3.1, 7.3.1; first proposed by Bagley & Farmer, 1992; Bagley, Farmer & Fontana, 1992.

Its generator ships with the chemart library, so loading it runs no code from the hub and needs no trust_remote_code.
