avoid "<mon> slithers under the water" for fish

Don't use "slither" for movement action when observing an aquatic
monster go into hiding underwater.  Use "dive" instead.

Shark, pirahna, and jellyfish had been flagged M1_SLITHY but aren't
anymore.  Giant eel and electric eel are still M1_SLITHY and kraken
wasn't and still isn't.

There may be some odd cases that used to use slither and it went by
unnoticed where now use of the default verb might become noticeable.
