fix #H4147 - "unlockable chest" desc is misleading
Change "unlockable" to "broken" so that it won't be misunderstood to mean "capable of being unlocked". The accompanying suggestion to omit "broken" unless/until a lock or unlock attempt is made is no good since the main reason for describing the broken lock is to avoid unnecessary attempts to lock or unlock a container that the hero knows to be broken but the player may have forgotten. I also changed remote look-at for objects to use distant_name(doname) instead of distant_name(xname) so that qualifiers like "empty" and "broken" will show up on chests you've investigated before but aren't standing on now. Monster type for corpse also gets shown, instead of just 'food (corpse)'. Other remote items will become more verbose, but only those that the hero has already seen up close.
