Add effect-guessing heuristic for unknown weapons

[cirrahn]

If we do not have a defined effect for a weapon, allow the module to pick one which should be appropriate. This helps to bridge the gap for homebrew items in the absence of a customization option.

All credit to @dodgepong for the idea and algorithm.

@dodgepong's algo:

Type: Melee

• All -> DefaultMelee

Type: CQB

• If Energy Damage -> PPC
• If name contains "Shotgun" or range is Cone -> Shotgun
• All others -> Pistol

Type: Cannon

• If Energy Damage -> Tachyon Lance
• If name contains "Assault", "LMG", "HMG", "Machine Gun", or "Minigun" -> HMG
• All others -> Mortar

Type: Launcher

• All -> Missile

Type: Nexus

• All -> Nexus

Type: Rifle

• If Energy Damage -> Thermal Rifle
• If name contains If name contains "Assault", "LMG", "HMG", "Machine Gun", or "Minigun"...
  • If mount type is Heavy or Superheavy -> HMG
  • Otherwise -> Assault Rifle
• All others -> AMR

Some questions:

• any changes to the above resolution/FX choices?
• should this be always-on or gated behind a module setting? If a setting, should it be on or off by default?
• others?

I like the idea. I think a module setting to enable/disable the effect-guessing is a must. I'd be fine with it being on by default. I think the assignments listed are good ones, I can't think of any changes I'd make to them.

Agreed with having it as a setting, but yeah, having it on by default seems good. Effects look great to me! Thanks for doing this!
