Monsters picking up artifacts
Restore this behavior to something closer to pre-1.2.0

In p1, a fix was introduced that made it impossible for monsters to pick up artifacts in order to prevent them from picking up chaos orbs and in rare game situations make the game unwinnable. While the change did indeed fix that problem, it also allows for a number of silly game situations we haven't seen since monster inventories were introduced, like being able to run around an artifact guardian, picking up the artifact and killing the guardian with the artifact it was guarding, a behavior we can also see happen in vaults and in other situations. It's silly for a monster not to pick up the amazing weapon at its feet. Out of greed or out of a lust for power, any monster would. The request, then, is to change this behavior so that monsters do not pick up chaos orbs, but are capable of picking up all other artifacts. This would restore interesting monster-item interactions to the game while still taking care of the problem the fix intended to solve.
