Add some missing monster types for the recent male/female/neuter
name split.  "vampire lady" was missing but getting false hit on
"*lady, offler" entry for Discworld's Lady Luck, aka The Lady,
goddess, god.  "{dwarf,gnome,kobold} lady" got the corresponding
"{dwarf,gnome,kobold}" entry but "ogre lady" got "Lady Luck"; all
wildcard matches that are affected by their ordering in the file.

The pull request adopted yesterday added "battle axe" but it was
missing a hyphen so didn't match.  I've fixed that and moved it
from the generic "weapon" entry to the more specific "axe" one.

I accidentally omitted the addition of "luckstone" but since the
luck quote is about bad luck, having it match that would be too
misleading for novice players so am now intentionally omitting it.
