Part I: it's possible to use two-weapon combat while wielding a
lance (which seems odd to me); the second weapon would hit even if the
the first delivered a lance jousting blow that knocked the target away.
Part II: always getting the joust knockback effect when hitting
with a lance while mounted was too powerful; implement a suggestion
from the newsgroup that it be a random chance based on skill level.
Related: it's now possible to break your lance when hitting; when
adding that, I noticed that it was theoretically possible (didn't try
to reproduce) for a shattered boomerang or mirror to yield the stagger
bonus sometimes given for unarmed attacks.
Forwarded from the newsgroup: when a monster gets hit by wand or
spell of polymorph, any armor that fell off was protected from being
hit by that same zap, but a dropped weapon wasn't. Nor was the whole
dropped inventory in the case where the monster is killed by system
shock rather than transformed. Protect its entire inventory.

<Someone> noticed that the change to require axes for trees (and allow them for
doors) did not extend to monsters. Now it does.
- added 2 new weapon check flags to handle the new cases
- added some detailed digging flags to mfndpos, based on ALLOW_DIG, and
moved some common logic regarding that flag into mfndpos
- made the ARMS check consistent for 2-handed weapons
I also noticed that simply carrying a pick was enough to allow a monster to
dig a door; wielding wasn't required. This is fixed as well.

In the skills list shown by #enhance, add an annotation
for skills that have had enough practive to be advanced but
can't be because there aren't enough slots available or the
role-specific limit has been reached.
Add absent prototypes to some core routines.
Also add some port function() to function(void) in some win32 routines.
Also updates the Borland C Makefile for win32.
