Proposal: Add quantity field to Inventory items about packstack HOT 4 OPEN

Alternative UX:

• Set quantity on Inventory Item
• Add item to Pack, setting quantity to whatever number
• If PackItem Quantity > InventoryItem Quantity, something indicates that you don't actually have all the gear you need (maybe a small icon which changes colour based on condition, with a tooltip hover. oh or maybe the 1 x at the beginning of each item line can be red or something?)

Still need to think about existing packs/inventories. Presumably we will default inventory quantity to 1, so will it be annoying if all pack items suddenyl complain you don't have enough stuff?

This also only makes sense for items which would be grouped in sets. Like you would never set "Big Agnes Copper Spur Tent x 2". Does that make it weird? Maybe it is okay?

Thinking about this, it probably only makes sense to show this in Pack edit mode. Packs can be public and therefore sharable, and other people either will be confused by what it means, or may not care about the state of your Inventory quantities.

On one hand, I get it. But it would potentially conflict with other feature requests. I had an idea to add usage stats to inventory items - mileage, # of liters filtered, # of nights used, etc... If you have a group of things - tent stakes - what if you own 12 but only pack 6? Which get assigned the usage? What if you own 4 filters, but only use 1 per trip? Maybe I'm overthinking this, but throwing it out there.
