Bones loading was only checking to see if a
monster was marked extinct, it wasn't adding
up the born count of a species in the current
game with the number of that species on the
bones level being loaded. That made it possible
to exceed the correct number of nazgul and
erinys via bones.
This adds a common routine called propagate()
that makemon() and restmonchn(ghostly) share,
for incrementing the born count and checking for
extinction, etc.
When a bones level is loaded, restmonchn()
will flag an illegal monster (duplicated unique,
or too many of a species) by setting the
individual monster's mhpmax to the cookie
value DEFUNCT_MONSTER. Before getbones() finishes
loading the bones level, it will purge those
monsters from the chain.
correct the region where the down stairs can be placed so they don't show up
in a cut off cave. If/when the level generator is improved to avoid generating
such caves, the down stairs region could potentially be changed back.

<Someone> forwarded from rgrn that a monster using Stormbringer would
lose hp when hitting the player. The sign of the "gain" was reversed due
to subtracting the difference in the wrong order.
