buglist entry: hobbits and elven mithril armour

<Someone> wrote: "Also, hobbits can't wear armour,
at least, you can't wear armour when polymorphed into a hobbit, even
though hobbits do tend to be carrying elven mithril-coats.
It's tempting to suggest adding an explicit exception in
sliparm() for elven mithril just to keep the Tolkienness."

- added a general routine for adding race-based /object
combination exceptions.
- hobbits can wear elven mithril-coats
