Adds a bow, a quiver and arrows, and icons for everything.

Only yautja can use the bow. The weapon is designed to be used against dishonorable prey. Arrows have two modes: standard and activated. The standard arrow acts like an arrow, it simply deals damage on impact and gets stuck in the body (you can pull it out of the body later, if it's a human). If you miss, the arrow remains on the ground. The activated arrow explodes on impact, which is similar to lethal HPC, cannot be recovered. The arrow can fall out of the bow if you drop the bow or try to return the bow to the strap, which means you can not store a loaded bow on the strap. The quiver strap holds a bow and 7 arrows, it can be worn on the belt and in the suit storage slots.

I also changed "yank out" verb slightly for it to make a bit more sense.

I think it would make sense if it required both hands on the bow to actually shoot the arrow. One shouldn't be able to shoot the arrow and have a melee weapon in another hand at the same time. Just my opinion.

Would be nice to have a draw mechanic to it - when ready to fire click and hold down and draw the bow. Let go to release the arrow.

Then you can let marines try to draw the bow but they are weak girly men and can't do it so well.

onmob holster sprites aren't coded in properly, thus being invisible in the game, also some problems with the sprites themselves, elaborated to Thwomp in discord
