address github issue #303 - paranoid_confirm:pray

Browse Source 
An issue from nearly three years ago, reported by Anerag:  asking
player whether to really pray isn't paranoid enough because it
accepts 'y' rather than requring "yes".

This changes it to require "yes" followed by <return> or <enter> if
paranoid_confirm:Confirm is also set.  (A side-effect of that is
explicit "no<return|enter>" is required instead of just 'n' to
decline--for all the paranoid confirmations, not just for prayer.)
This extension of paranoid:Confirm applies to paranoid:AutoAll too.

A comment asks why paranoid_confirm:pray is different from the other
paranoid questions in the first place.  The answer is that when it
isn't set, no confirmation prompt is issued at all.  The others all
have y/n confirmation prompts when the corresponding paranoid option
isn't set.

Once upon a time there was a boolean option called 'prayconfirm' that
issued "really pray?" prompt when True.  It was added after players
whinged about typing Alt+p when they meant to type Alt+o.  When the
more advanced 'paranoid_confirmation' was introduced, paranoid:pray
superseded prayconfirm, but it still only issues a confirmation
prompt where there normally wouldn't be one rather than change an
existing one to require "yes<return|enter>" instead of 'y'.

Closes #303
