-fix item ownership exploits, rules are as follows:
* items/recipes are usable by the original purchaser, always
* "allowsharing" items are usable by team mates of the original purchaser
* "dropondeath" items lose their ownership when the carrying unit is killed, making them free for all to use (ally/enemy)
