Shifts small quivers to leg slots so as to be more like scabbards (which they are very similar to IRL)
Summary
SUMMARY: Balance "Move small quivers to leg waist slot"
Purpose of change
Not aware of any issues related to this, only that I noticed it a while ago and found it strange enough to have a minor discussion about it, eventually leading to this PR.
Basically, smaller quivers are generally worn on the hip, hung from a belt, very similar to how some scabbards work. This meant that the player had to choose between a belt or belt-like item (e,g chest rig) or wearing a quiver, despite being able to wear any combination of belt-like items and scabbards, sheathes, and holsters. With this change, a player can wear one belt and a quiver or other belt-attached object on each side, which is more realistic.
Comparison images are below, they're clearly very similar in execution.
Describe the solution
Quivers (only normal/small quivers, not the larger back-worn ones) are moved from the TORSO, WAIST slot to the LEG, WAIST slot, which presumably represents something worn hanging from the belt rather than something that is or conflicts with a belt.
Quivers also received a few extra points of coverage and encumbrance, to be more in line with scabbards.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Make quivers a full belt-like item, including pouches and pockets for storage. This would also be perfectly reasonable, but I feel is more intrusive.
