Allow robots to activate and inactivate equipment. #45

Robots must be able to activate or deactivate equipped items as a means of saving power without unequipping them. May want to call these actions powerOn and powerOff.

For simplicity, I've decided that the only way for robots to inactivate equipment will be by bumping it off the equipped list or dropping it.

I'm reopening this issue. Powering off items will not only be an important strategy for robots to use when saving power, it may also help them to reduce their vulnerabilities to scans.

I've thought of a way to use activate and inactivate to replace the equip (prioritize) command:

Activate will move an item to the top of the stack and set it to active if there is a slot for it.
Inactivate will move an item to the bottom of the stack and set it to inactive.
Every time an item is activated or inactivated all items that are in a slot will be equipped and all unequipped items will be inactivated.
All activated items will be colored blue.
