IWK+ Cross-mod Backpack Integration

Integration for IWK+ and all patched mods that include backpacks, to work together better. Used mods linked in Steam

Rules of thumb for rework
1. Backpack description must include size and stack bonus
2. Advanced Backpacks Crafting Station(placed inside building) can craft any backpack from Leather and Leather Strips.
3. Camping Backpacks Crafting Station can craft only some backpacks with specific materials. E.g. we have Workbench I (Backpacks Wooden) that can craft Wooden Backpack and Wooden Quiver from Lumber. Workbench I (Backpacks Straw) that can craft Scavenger's Basket from Rice Straw. Workbench I (Backpacks Leather) for Leather Quiver and Small Backpack.
4. Backpacks should have progression, so with each level you can unlock bigger backpacks or simular backpacks with smaller combat penalty.
5. Quivers have small inventoty size and can hold only Bolts, but with x3-x10 stack(depents on tech level).
6. While backpacks have progression, some backpack still have individuality. E.g. Wandering Thieves Backpack it not just a better version of Thieves Backpack, because it have a little bit smaller inventory but don't have combat penalty. While Trader's Wooden Backpack it's just a better version of Wooden Backpack.

Changes
1. A lot of changes to follow rework rules.
2. Add quivers for each bolt type.
3. Remove Makeshift Wooden Backpack from IWK+. Because it's just Wooden Backpack with same model and stats.
4. Change [Bolts] Wooden size from 4x1 to 3x1, so it can fit into regular backpack. Also name chagen from Wooden Bolts to [Bolts] Wooden.
5. Thieves backpack variants can be researched only via Blueprint, that can be bought in Shinobi Towers.
6. Animal backpack variants can be researched only via Blueprint, that can be bought in Adventure Shop
