Summary
SUMMARY: Balance "Set armored gauntlets and boots to be steel/leather, to be plate-tier instead of iron-tier"
Purpose of change
So, one thing I derped and forgot about while working on #3168 is that, for some reason, armored gauntlets and boots take plate-tier levels of fabrication to make, and have higher encumbrance than iron-tier stuff, but only provide iron-tier protection.
Also I suppose a much-belated followup to #847 which also did a lot of making armor items within a set have consistent armor values for its individual pieces.

Not screaming at how balance is always so damn hard.
