Summary

Bugfixes "Ignore weakpoints for item DPS calculations"

Purpose of change

The existing item DPS calculation assumes that a creatures armor has 100% coverage. The recent weak point changes will break that assumption.

Describe the solution

Inline the previous monster::absorb_hit definition into item::effective_dps. Temporarily increase the allowable difference between actual and calculated DPS.

This involves a static_cast, but all targets passed to effective_dps are currently monsters.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Eventually, the DPS calculation should consider weakpoints.

Testing

Additional context

See #51305

@I-am-Erk This should temporarily resolve the issues with the DPS test for #51373. Once things stabilize, we should update the expected values to consider weakpoints.

Whew, thanks. That was bothering me and I've had no time to work on it at all.

Hmm, I think this is not the ideal solution even as a stopgap as it's essentially just turning off the test entirely. What I think I'll do for the moment is generate a duplicate monster that has no weakpoints, and use that for the test. I'll add that to this PR myself if you've given me the ability, hold on.

This solution isn't great either but it keeps the current utility of the test unchanged. If smoker or regular zombies get weak points we'll need to get smarter.
