Subject: [PATCH] crowning bonus (trunk only)

     Have being crowned Hand of Elbereth/Envoy of Balance/Glory of Arioch
give a minor extra benefit beyond resistances and an artifact and maybe
unlocking the artifact's skill:  one extra skill credit, making it
feasible to earn 30 rather than 29.  (Previously the only way to get any
was to receive one for each new experience level, so you could gain one
29 times when going from level 1 to level 30.)  Added as a new feature.
