About the PR

This PR adds an uplink to the Syndicate recruiter, reworking their briefcase into a lockable way for them to obtain bribes and onboarding presents to sway people to quit their jobs.

They start with a certain budget of "TC" that they can use to persuade people to sign on, each person that they recruit gives them additional "TC" for use in buying more bribes, with increased/decreased rewards depending on their job
(Recruiting tiders and assistants gives less, recruiting mindshielded jobs more.)

The bribes are generally Syndicate themed junk or uniforms, any item that has any notable utility being priced significantly higher, eating up a large portion of their budget.

Why / Balance

Recruiter is a cool ghostrole and rewarding good RP with shiny trinkets incentivises more of it.
anything that has actual utility is significantly limited and overpriced, e.g. the cyberpen, costing 10TC for them instead of 1.

Their "TC" are also not actual TC and cannot be used in a real uplink, something the currency item pokes fun at.

Technical details

probably modifications to recruiter system once i work on the budget increase code.

I'll pop this over to direction just to get ideas/feedback flowing, no timeline yet since it's still a draft of course. Looks neat
