Shop Update - Groupable Items

A teeny tiny update to shops!
Groupable items are now priced individually, and no longer have a cap of 50 for BUY purposes.
Meaning, you can have a group of 5000 malachite in your stockroom, price them at 10, and then someone can BUY 500 MALACHITE and they would pay 5000 gold for a group of 500 malachite, leaving a group of 4500 malachite in your stockroom.
This will look odd for shopkeepers at first, as if you have 5 groups of 100 potash in your stockroom that were priced the same, it will show five individual entries on WARES for potash crystals at a stock of 100 with the same price.
The shop display has been updated accordingly for this, with "description" now simply always showing the plural name of groupable objects, and the "price" tab detailing "gp ea" to show it is individual pricing.
DIRECTORY has likewise been updated accordingly.
This will not apply to shop carts or denizen owned shops for the time being.
NOTE: If a shop has five separate listings of 100 potash, you cannot buy 105 potash - In this example, the number you can purchase at once is limited to the group size of the first entry of potash crystals you are eligible to purchase.
This change will mean that buying groupable objects is no longer capped to 50 at a time, but only at player owned shops.
PSA: I cannot stress this enough - this will apply to ANY groupable items, including bombs and rare minerals.
PSA2: Do doublecheck your purchases until shopkeepers get around to updating their prices, as potash crystals that were once 5000 gold for a group of 100, will now be 5000 gold PER INDIVIDUAL POTASH CRYSTAL until the shop owner updates their prices accordingly.
