New Weapon Type: Polearms

While they have utilized long handled weapons for a long while, Warriors and Paladins may now use polearm weapons. While we have had Polearms in name, they are now a unique weapon type.

There are three types of polearm damage: Hack, Thrust and Rake.

These damages types will apply to weapons that will do similar damage (ie. a halberd will hack, a pike will thrust, etc.).

Many older in-game items that are appropriate as polearms have been adjusted, though these adjustments will only apply to the new versions (not ones currently sitting in donation rooms).

There are a number of new weapons of this type as well. Explore and enjoy.

Thanks to Lina for the code and Hurley for the idea.
