Cataclysm-dda: Riot helmet visor mobility-suggestion

[baraba3]

Considering riot helmets usually have option of raising visor(plastic shield) i thought said option should be added in game-its easy to code in ,just add second model of helmet with removed protection for mouth and eyes and maybe lower overall protection percentage if must and ability of one form to transform in other.

One of problem of helmets such is motorcycle one,riot helmet,full tactical helm is that they inhibit both breathng and perception and also have low enviromentnl protection which is objectively ok but make them inferior to those which only protect head as you can by your need use masks and googles-and usually player want good gas or filter mask to protect them from enviromental hazards and as lowest eye encumbrance as they can get.Giving this ability to riot helm and possibly motorcycle helmet (though i think one described in game are not one which can do it) or medieval helmet woud make them more desirable and is also real.

This would be a good case for using the copy-from function.

Maybe we could add a activate function and a separate item that doesn't cover the eyes and mouth.
@baraba3 if you have made a PR, please mention it, otherwise I may try to create PR to do such change.

adding a use function turns it into tool armor which doesn't support copy-from currently.
