What does Caramel's Armor Rebalance Mod add?

WIP!!!! Looking for feedback for future balance changes, most numbers were picked arbritrarily.

I saw some complaints about armor balance and after checking the wiki and finding out that a lot of the armors that Archers historically used were borderline useless for archery.

This mod rebalances armors to be slightly more historically accurate so that Archers can actually use the armors they historically did use. As well as some other armor related tweaks.

Keep in mind the values are per piece. For example, Vanilla scale armor has a 10% accuracy penalty, meaning a full set of scale armour would reduce accuracy by 30%.
