Allow Poisons to be applied to all weapons

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:
- implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
- the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
- the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Allow Poisons to be applied to all weapons

As per the wiki:
NWN Wikia wrote:Player characters may use these items on slashing or piercing weapons (or bullets) in an attempt to coat the weapon with the toxin, resulting in a temporary on-hit poison property.
I thought for a while that poisons were relegated to melee weapons because of the whole "must break the skin to deliver the poison" bit, but bullets also apply poisons. There are also IRL cases of contact poisons, such as those used by North Korean and Russian spies, that would fit thematically.
Please allow poisons to be applied to all weapons, including bludgeoning ones.
