fix #U1233 - controlled polymorph by hero with lycanthropy (trunk only)

Browse Source 
<email deleted> reported a long list
of inconsistencies and suggestions.  This attempts to address the ones
about werecritters and vampires.

> Polymorphed player does not get werecreature changes. (intentional?)
> Player in were form does not turn into werehuman form, ever.  (Previous
> bugged behavior was that player turned into a plain human)
> Player afflicted with a were cannot polymorph into werecreature or
> werehuman form.

     The first guess is right; being polymorphed blocks lycanthropy state
changes.  The second is not a bug either; hero is either a <werecritter>
when in beast form or a <role> when in human form, never human werecritter
monster.  The last one feels more like a bug though; it happened because
all lycanthrope monster entries are marked NOPOLY.  This patch extends
an earlier post-3.4.3 change to allow player with polymorph control to
explicitly specify werecritter when in role form or human werecritter when
in beast form to toggle shape.  It also allows closely related monsters
to toggle from role to beast (ie, "giant rat" yields wererat).

> Vampire or Werecreature changing form may change sex.

     Now the three semi-controlled changes--becoming a dragon due to armor,
toggling were form, and vampire into various critters--are prevented from
having the 10% chance of sex change kick in.  For monsters, lycanthropy
didn't apply (sex never toggles) and vampire shifting is now covered but
turning into a dragon due to scales/mail remains susceptible to sex change.

     Also, post-3.4.3 code made polymorphing into a vampire enable the
#monster command but neglected to tell the player.
