Cataclysm-dda: Limit the item names visible to the player only to those (s)he had the chance to see/know of

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently player/avatar has the omniscient knowledge of all item types that exist in the world, specifically, it shows in the item description:

Recipes:

There are item types that are uncommon enough to assume that an average joe (random character) shouldn't know about their existence.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Keep track of item types that the player had chance to see or know of
• When showing any list of items to the player, filter it using that set
• When player sees an item, or reads about it in the book (sees recipe) add the corresponding item type to the tracked set

Note: that tracked set is different from the list of autolearned recipes (it's actually a superset of known recipes). E.g: player can know of something without the ability to craft it.

Challenges

• There should be a way to initially populate that set, i.e. have some kind of item group or item flag that marks an item as a "common knowledge"
• Perhaps, some professions should have additional item groups added to that initial set. E.g., military professions should know about military items, bionic professions should know about bionics, etc.

It should probably feed off from skills and proficiencies. Ideally, in JSON, you should be able to append alternate descriptions. e.g. a int 3 character sees a shillelagh as "big hurting stick" or someone with no knowledge of guns should only be able to tell a weapon is "handgun" or "rifle."
