weakening the mysterious force effect

Izchak implemented the mysterious force and as far as I'm concerned,
it's here to stay.  But it can be fine tuned.  This is an experimental
attempt to make it happen less.  Each time it happens, the chance for
it happening again later will usually go down by an amount proportional
to how far it sent the hero back.  So chaotics will be sent back--or
"side to side"--less often than in 3.6.x but the tapering off of such
occurrences will be slower for them.  Lawfuls will also be sent back
less often--still potentially farther down than others--but tapering
off of send backs for them will be quicker.

I'll let somebody else figure out the before and after values for
number of attempts to climb up it takes to finally get out of Gehennom.
The numbers might need tuning.
