throttle excessive HP and En gains

Browse Source 
The priest/cleric quest provides unlimited wraiths and a player
(not a robot with limitless patience) posting on reddit gave up
building up his character by killing them and eating the corpses
after accumulating 40K HP and 20K En.  (Or something close to that;
I can't get back to the post right now.)  His character might have
been capable of surviving decapitation or bisection.

Make it very much harder to get to 5 digits of HP or En via level
gains after reaching level 30.  If maxhp < 300, new gains will be
capped at 5 extra HP; 300..599, cap is 4; 600..899, cap is 3;
900..1199, cap is 2; and once 1200 is reached, further level gains
will only add 1 HP.  For maxen < 200, extra En is capped at 4;
200..399, cap is 3; 400..599, cap is 2; and once 600 is reached,
further gains only add 1 En.  Note: this only kicks in when gaining
levels while already at level 30.
