Butchering isn't affected by meatspikes or knife type/sharpness

Issue Summary

I was expecting that using the meatspikes would do anything regarding meat, but it's a lot of extra work for no benefit from just butchering on the floor. Same with just using any knife as opposed to just any old kitchen one.

Reproduction:

Hanging something on a meatspike to butcher doesn't give more meat than the standard ammount (5 for monkeys). Using better/sharpened knives for butchering doesn't give more meat (again, just 5 for monkeys). Using a gibber actually gives Less meat, unless upgraded (3 slabs, +1 per tier, up to 6)

the survival knife has a chance to get extra stuff from butchering, as does the crusher.

yes yes, but i tested solely from a chef's capability of toolage, you probably wouldn't want to see a chef bummin round mining

everything here is working as intended but it is a bit silly that the gibber gives less meat than butchering manually.

I SWEAR there was a time when meatspike butchering gave a flat +1 meat or something like that, I genuinely distinctly remember a time when, while dead rats still counted as dead bodies and not items, I hung a rat on a meatspike and got Two Steaks out of it instead of one. is it that much for a small bonus to exist?

I'm sure nobody would mind if it did, but as it stands, after looking through the code - it works as intended, there is no bonus in the code

I swear it should be somewhere in the examine description that it should get you more meat

[Sadboysuss]

    name = "meat spike"
    icon = 'icons/obj/service/kitchen.dmi'
    icon_state = "spike"
    desc = "A spike for collecting meat from animals."

/obj/structure/kitchenspike/examine(mob/user)
    . = ..()
    . += "<b>Drag a mob</b> onto it to hook it in place."
    . += "A <b>crowbar</b> could remove those spikes."

Maybe it was removed at some point? Last time the code for the meat spike was changed in any meaningful way was 2 years ago, and the examine proc was changed 17 months ago.
