TL;DR

Allow mods to access the tank's trash inventory by providing a proper inventory defines constant.

What?

Currently, there is no symbolic constant in defines.inventory for the tank's trash inventory to use with get_inventory. There is only car_trunk and car_ammo.

Experimentally, I found that spider_trash (4) works with the tank too, retrieving its trash inventory, but it's not clear whether that is guaranteed. If that is intentional, I suggest adding a sentence of documentation to spider_trunk clarifying that it works for the tank too. If not, I request a car_trash symbolic constant.

Why?

Mods often interact with vehicle inventory, and being able to do so for the tank's trash inventory is unexceptional.
