Purpose of change

This aims to make wood saws more worth using as tree cutting tools than plain stone axes, while currently still keeping proper wood axes superior since they're bulkier and have less other tool utility.

Describe the solution

  1. Bumped AXE quality of wood saw from 1 to 2.
  2. Accordingly bumped up the axe quality of all related items: toolbox, survivor utility belt, misc repair kit, and workshop toolbox.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Bumping wood saws up to 3 so they're equal to wood saws. Since the only makeshift axe to really match a wood saw is the copper one, which takes more effort to make than plaine stone, it's probably okay at its current level.
  2. Baking in some hardcoded shenanigans to make the chop_moves function either pick best of wood-cutting vs sawing quality for the tool being used automatically.
  3. At some point I kinda want to axe the survivor utility belt in favor of just making the survivor belt you craft it out of have multiple all-purpose tool storage like a tool belt does, so you can just fill it yourself with one's tools of choice.

Testing

  1. Checked affected file for syntax and lint errors.
  2. Spawned in a wood saw, confirmed its use action menu doesn't do anything weird like give the lumber action twice.
  3. Chopped a trunk into logs with wood saw, it now takes about half an hour as expected.
  4. Did the same with a stone axe, confirmed it still takes about an hour as expected.

Additional context

I'm also wondering if maybe we should give the copper and stone tomahawk axe quality since they're basically hatchets but old-school, but then the stone axe and stone tomahawk might feel about the same tool-wise? Copper tomahawk at least wouldn't have this problem since we could easily give it level 1 and thus have it still feel less heavy-duty than the copper axe's level 2 quality.
