* Allows the use of wirecutters for Tend Wounds (#82069)

## About The Pull Request
I've always found it weird that we can clamp bleeders, excise infection,
and attach grafts to hearts with wirecutters, yet we can't use this same
logic to stitch someone back together via Tend Wounds with wirecutters.
This update remedies that.
This will only touch the Tend Wounds surgery procedure as I don't see
using wirecutters to fix someone's brain as a good idea since the tool
is a tad bulky in design, but something as broad as regular damage to a
body should be fine. (But feel free to start a conversation about that,
I'm curious what other medical mains think)
I will respect the original PR though and have the wirecutters set for
60, below the screwdriver's 65. I have tested the code and made sure
that the wirecutters were usable on the hemostat step.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This adds consistency to Tend Wounds and follows the logic other
surgeries give as it's reasonable to think that if you can clamp
bleeders with wirecutters then surely you can tend basic wounds with
them. I've definitely seen a few ghetto surgeons do exactly this and
accidentally kill a person they were trying to save, so I hope that this
tweak will prevent these accidental deaths in the future.
