new "ne" (unpowered device) classifiers

I have split classifier "ne/ne'o" (unpowered devices) into six classifiers:

ne       measuring devices
ne'a     sense-enhancers, brain-enhancers
ne'e    tools, manipulators
ne'i     weapons
ne'o    musical instruments
ne'u     general, miscellaneous

Naturally, some of the modifiers have changed as a result.
