killer messages

Incorporate various killer message grammar fixes suggested by <Someone>.
Mostly these deal with using the proper killer_format and prefix ("the" or
no "the") for unique and type_is_pname monsters, or death to to eating
their corpses.
One case is handled by a general fix to name_to_mon to allow it to deal
with "Croesus' corpse".
The pre-3.4.1 topten behavior for "starved to death" messages is also restored.
