Phosphorus from Matchboxes and Potassium Chloride From Match-heads

Summary

Content "Red Phosphorus Using Matchbox Strikers and Potassium Chloride Using Match-heads"

Purpose of change

Closes #74459

Regular safety matches does not have any red phosphor in the match-heads only on the striker of the box, however it is a very small amount.

Describe the solution

Added recipes to make minuscule quantities of red phosphorus from survival matches, matchboxes and matchbooks. Gathering large amount red phosphorus from strikers is not a plausible solution for most recipes.

Added a recipe to make Potassium Chloride from match heads.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The quantity of Red Phosphorus obtained are too small for any worthwhile use, an alternative would be to gamify the recipes of obtain larger amounts of Red Phosphorus.

A single 9x19mm JHP round require 3 phosphorus charges, i.e 9 matchboxes to craft 3 red phosphorus, to gamify this would probably mean 1-2 matchboxes gives 9 phosphorus, enough to make a single 9mm round.

Testing

Crafted all the recipes.

As far as potassium chlorate goes I'd try to mirror my math in #67453 (In other words, the number of bullets per matchbook should be the same - you're getting something like 117 mg of powder per book of 20 safety matches)

Yes, This is way better. Previous calculations were eyeballed using the weight of matches, survival matches were particularly iffy.
