make the bags being dumped into the bones block on death (configurable)

works well with the bones mod I'm about to upload in a couple of minutes

Honestly speaking, it could be implemented in a much fancier way by introducing a public function in the bones mod (minetest_game) which is called to collect the item stacks that shall be handled. It would be easy for mods to register a callback of overwrite said function to handle it correctly.
This node searching approach might still hit the wrong bone if there are multiple ones nearby from the same player.
