fix issue #326 - can't wish for were-foo corpse

Browse Source 
"were{rat,jackal,wolf}" each occur twice in mons[], once for the
beast form and second time among '@' for the human form.  Wishing
for werecreature corpse or tin always matches the first entry so
yields the beast form, but all their beast forms are flagged as
no-corpse so the wish would fallback to a corpse with random monster
type.  Wishing for werecreature figurine worked but always produced
one that created its beast form if/when activated.

This fix allows specifying "human werecreature" to match the second
entry.  It's optional for corpse and tin; the wish code will now
switch to that implicitly if it gets a no-corpse were-form for
those.  It has to be specified explicitly to get a figurine that
will activate as the human form.  It works for ^G too.

Fixes #326
