backpacks -- 100-slot loot bags (not your job kit)

A backpack is a second worn bag for **everything that is not job-kit gear** (help gear covers the reagent/salvage bag). Wearing one over your other shoulder gives you 100 rows of general storage instead of the plain canvas loot bag's 20.

How you play:
  wear <backpack> -- sling it on your free back/shoulder slot.
  restring back|shoulder|hip -- move a worn bag between slots.
  remove <backpack> -- take it off (stays in inventory, contents inside).
  put <item> in backpack -- stow loose gear from your hands into the bag.
  put all backpack        stow every loose item that fits
  put all.weapon backpack stow only loose weapons (and offhand gear) put all.armor backpack -- stow only loose armor pieces.
  put all.mug in 2.backpack -- stow every matching loose item into the second bag.
  get <item> from backpack pull one item back to your hands
  get all backpack        empty the bag onto your belt (stack cap applies)
  get all.sword from 2.backpack -- pull every matching item from the second bag.
  drop all.coin -- drop every matching item you are carrying.
  look in backpack        list what you have stowed inside

Where to get one:
  * Ash Garage sells five plain, no-frills backpacks (list / buy) -- a canvas backpack, a nylon backpack, a gray daypack, a workshop knapsack, and a spare-parts backpack. Same 100-slot capacity, no story.
  * A rarer skinned backpack can turn up as a floor drop after an ordinary wilderness or mission kill -- generic, military, hiking, and hunter-flavored versions all exist (a Men of Letters satchel, a salt-stained hunter duffel, an alpine summit pack, an olive-drab rucksack, and more). Odds are low and independent of everything else that drops.

Rules:
  * Kit bag + backpack + hip satchel can all be worn at once (help satchels).
  * You cannot stow what you are wearing or wielding -- unequip first.
  * Corpses keep whole worn bags; contents stay inside until looted.
