[WOTC] LW2 Utility Plating

This is a port of the Plating utility items from Long War 2. These utility items grant bonus ablative (Shield) hit points to the soldier. These hit points, once lost, cannot be regained for the remainder of the mission. Loss of albative HP does not increase wound time. Only one plating item can be equpped at a time. A soldier can equip both a vest and plating at the same time.
