Subject: [PATCH] Remove recipe/cost/WorkToMake from weapons

Strip in-def manufacturing metadata from multiple weapon definitions: remove <WorkToMake>, <recipeMaker> and <costList> blocks across Flame, Gauss, Laser, Plasma and Pulse weapon defs (making them no longer carry crafting/cost entries). Clean up related formatting/element placement (thingSetMakerTags/statBases/weaponTags). Additionally, adjust the high-end Plasma rifle: mark it smeltable and replace its old recipe block with a full recipe configuration (workSpeedStat, workSkill, effectWorking, soundWorking, recipeUsers, unfinishedThingDef), change the research prerequisite and raise the Crafting requirement. Minor stat/format fixes (MarketValue/Mass alignment) included.
