Subject: [PATCH] fix copyright release details

GitHub issue https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/issues/1513

Starting a new game, at the
'Shall I pick character's race, role, gender and alignment for you? [ynaq]'
prompt, the game shows as 'Version 5.0.0-0 Unix Work-in-progress'
but then once the game has started and you check #version you see
the correct 'Unix NetHack Version 5.0.0-0 post-release' feedback.

Closes #1513
