Pets will not eat shapeshifter corpses except in extreme circumstances

Browse Source 
Ported from SpliceHack, and generalized to all shapeshifters (Splice
only implemented it for chameleons). It's very aggravating when your
powerful but hungry pet chows down on a shapeshifter before you can stop
them and then turns into something much more useless, so this aims to
prevent that.

The extreme circumstances under which a pet will eat a shapeshifter are:
  1. The pet is starving, and prefers polymorph to starvation
  2. The pet's tameness is 1

The reasoning behind the second condition is that if you mistreat your
pet almost to the point of untaming it, it might want to take a chance
on turning into something that might get some more respect from you.
Practically, whenever this happens, this will result in the player now
owning a newly polymorphed and *still* nearly feral pet.
