Tallneck from HZD - added slots and pins, easier assembly

Description

I found the "Tallneck from HZD - no support and assembly helpers" easy to print but tricky to assemble, in part because I did a poor job keeping track of which part was which but also because it's tricky to get all the parts to line up properly without any guides--especially in the neck. So this remix is an attempt to alleviate these issues by: adding guide pins to assist with assembly and labelling the parts. The pins were designed with a 0.25mm tolerance which is a little loose on my Sovol SV06+ but may be nice and snug on other printers. Pins have been added to the body, neck, legs and feet. You can probably nudge these up by 1-3% to get a tighter fit. Make sure your supports are easy to remove or you'll have a hard time pulling them out of the body parts specifically. Each leg section has been labelling with an abbreviation of the part's name, such as "R.F.L." for "right front leg." If you throw all the parts in a big pile when they're done printing, you should now have an easier time figuring out which is which. All the parts should be orientated in the most optimal printing position. I recommend tree supports on all parts, though you'll want to add support blockers to the small pin holes and text to save a touch of work. Also be careful on the neck because the parts where the "knives" attach are thin and easily ruined when removing supports. You'll also want to add a support blocker for the inside of each foot, as the support material is next to impossible to remove. I have not yet printed the entire model so print at your own risk.
