fix #H5416 - misleading attribute message

Browse Source 
Report was for losing strength when sitting on a throne, but the
message issue was more general than that.  Character was wearing
gauntlets of power, so no visible change in strength took place,
but player was told "you're already as weak as you can get" (because
the attempt to reduce strength didn't change current strength;
however, it did change the hero's underlying strength, observable
once the gloves were removed).

There was a beta report last January that was related:  in that case
the player thought that gauntlets of power were preventing blessed
potion of gain ability from raising strength, but it was actually
giving a misleading message claiming that strength was already as
high as it could get.

Fix:  vary the message when something prevents an attribute change
from being noticeable.
