potion of sickness hit effect

Browse Source 
The potion of sickness would previously always print the message
"<mon> looks rather ill." when hitting a non-poison-resistant monster,
even if all effects were resisted due to monster magic resistance.

To make the potion more useful against high-MR monsters, this change
removes the dependence on monster MR, but also removes the halving of
maximum HP to prevent it from being overpowered.  Hitting with a
potion of sickness now reliably halves only the current HP of
non-poison-resistant targets.

The effect of poisoned projectiles, which can be created from a potion
of sickness, is not resisted by monster MR, so it does not make much
sense for the potion effect to be subject to monster MR.  There is
also code to make Pestilence suffer the sickness effect when hit by a
potion of healing, but due to monster MR, it had no practical effect
other than printing a misleading message.
