Up/down versions of automata block methods #43

Description

Describe your idea

Turtles/automata cannot turn vertically, but this is not a big problem, as they can fly upwards or downwards in any rotation. The issue is, though, that they cannot INTERACT with blocks above or below them without a separate command. In CC:Tweaked proper, there are three versions of each block interaction command: one for the block the turtle is facing, one for the block above the turtle, and one for the block below the turtle. See here for how there are, for example, dig(), digUp() and digDown() commands.
The commands do the exact same thing as the base command, but instead of targeting the block the turtle is facing, they target the block immediately above and below the turtle, regardless of which direction it is facing. Automata do not have this option for the lookAtBlock, digBlock, or useOnBlock methods.

Describe alternatives you've considered if you've any

You CAN go backwards and then upwards/downwards to access the block, but there is not always room to do this. Plus it wastes a little bit of fuel.

Additional context

To be clear, I'm not asking for turtles to be able to turn vertically, just a couple of methods that use the base method on the blocks y+1 and y-1 of the turtle.
