fix #H5507 - vampire death message bug

Browse Source 
Fix a couple of weird messages issued when a shape-shifted vampire
is "killed" and reverts to regular vampire form instead of dying.
First weird one was when vampire has been given a name, as reported.
Second was noticed while fixing that:  when cause of death destroys
the creature so thoroughly that there'd be no corpse, the alternate
phrasing for noncorporeal or amorphous form should be used.

old:
 The Dracula suddenly transforms and rises as Dracula!
 The vampire bat is disintegrated.  The seemingly dead vampire bat
 suddenly transforms and rises as a vampire!
new:
 Dracula suddenly transforms and rises as a vampire!
 The vampire bat is disintegrated.  The seemingly dead vampire bat
 suddenly reconstitutes and rises as a vampire!

poor message when shape-shifted vampire reverts if cause of 'death' was
disintegration or digestion and shifted form wasn't amorphous:

used for amorphous form, "reconstitute" rather than "transform")
