SetShopBuyCategories
The item categories a shop buys at its sell factor.
A list of the catalogue’s categories (GetItemInfo category: "MeleeWeapon", "Armor", "Food", "Herb" …).
The ones named are bought alone; a name with a leading minus is one the shop never buys ({"-Document"}: everything
but papers). nil or {} = every category. The classes of SetShopBuyPrice are bought regardless. The Sell tab and
the trade screen follow at once: the screen offers the vendor nothing else.
