some symbol tweaks
A few symbol-related modifications: - fulfill a request from a blind player to allow them to specify a unique/recognizable character for all pets and/or the player in the config file for use when using a screen reader (S_player_override, S_pet_override). Requires sysconf setting ACCESSIBILITY to be set to have an effect, although they can still be specified in the config file. - Config file SYMBOLS entries were not working properly on the rogue level. Allow ROGUESYMBOLS as well as SYMBOLS to be specified in the config file independently. - When values are moved into showsyms[], the overriding SYMBOLS or ROGUESYMBOLS entry from the config file is used if there is one; if there is no overriding value for a particular symbol, the loaded symset value is used; if there is no symset entry loaded for the symbol then a default symbol is used.
