description of stair destination for level 1 up

Having the opposite side of the stairs up from level 1 be unknown is
weird because the hero conceptually just came down those stairs at
the start of the game.  But it's tricky because remote destination
varies depending on whether the Amulet is being carried.  This gives
an accurate description of where the stairs lead (if you step on
them with the 'mention_decor' option On, or use the ':' command when
already on them).

|"There is a staircase up out of the dungeon here."
or
|"There is a branch staircase up to the Elemental Planes here."

It gives away a little information when carrying the Amulet, but not
much and anyone who gets that far deserves a break.
