Expanded Hirable NPC JS

[Humility]

I was inspired by Dark-Storm's hirables script and ended up going a little nuts with it.
Here's a chopped down version just to show off the functionality added so far.

I started by compressing the stacked if statements into an array loaded as they are defined
then added extra push lines for the longer lists to keep it all neat and easily readable.

I added a toLower function because the JS internal .toLowerCase returns weird garbage

I compressed the common actions into a function fnTurnWaitText because 90% of the entries turn wait and text.
it cleaned it up some.

I also added a "pack mule" feature to minions. say "hold", "take", etc they happily open their pack and tell you to throw it in.
*edit*
Packmule was broken but I fixed it. it was only available to admin so I modified the code to create a minion pack on layer 0x01E
Pack Mule feature now works for humanoid minions for all accounts

fixed some esoteric wobbliness by borrowing the code structure from Taming.js to make them a formal pet rather than just OWNED

*edit*
added in variable wages based off the average of their stats. stats / 10

changed hiring gold from UseResource to item.destroy they kept taking all the gold instead of just what they were supposed to charge.
now the only way to overpay them is to hand them all your gold.

They will stop for a moment and face you waiting if you call their name even before you hire them.

They now will introduce themselves on 'Name' before hiring and complain you forgot their name afterwards.

18 randomized responses to the 'hello' type greetings now, always room for more

I added a disable-able section to give NPC fighters skillgain. I tested NPC skillgain and they didn't gain
for over an hour. So I scripted a slow climb powered by onAttack(). It got really strange with dexterity going down to -51 using +=1
but I changed up the structure and they all work correctly now.

the skillgain section needs tuning to be more like OSI. Minions gain very slowly. I plan on modifying the Inkeeper to be a humanoid
stablemaster so hired NPC's can be lodged at the INN when offline.

not done yet, I'll update it as I go.

//    This script uses regular expressions in it's searches. This results in queries like "hi", "hi!", and "hi?"
// all being positive search results, while leaving out partial matches like "hi' in "hiking" or "hinder" or "hill".
//
//    The regular expression is placed within two forward slashes, for instance /hello/.
// This ensures that the script only searches for the whole word "hello" and
// leaves off preceeding or trailing letters,numbers, and symbols.
//
//    *Enclose the trigger-word in \bquery\b.
//       Example: /\bhello\b/
//    *An additional "i" behind the last forward slash indicates that the search is case-insensitive.
//   Example: /\bhello\b/i will return true for HELLO, hello, HeLlO, ... etc
