Part of the reasoning behind thrown objects not hitting mimics is
that a character who doesn't know there's a mimic there wouldn't
aim at it. But if you know there's a monster there (e.g. via
telepathy or monster detection), you would aim at it. Pushing a
boulder at it and hearing a monster works too (which is important
in cases where a mimic is trapped behind a boulder in the Sokoban
corridors).
Issue reported by vultur-cadens: 3.7's revised handling for initial
characteristic allocation included an unintended change from 3.6's.
I don't pretend to understand how characteristic allocation really
works. This should restore handling for values which are too low.

Issue reported by janne-hmp: examining an object on the map while
halluicinating might operate on an object whose name is Null since the
random object could be one that holds an extra description for item
shuffling at game start. Attempting to format the object led to a
crash.
I wasn't able to reproduce the crash, possibly because MacOS produces
the string "(null)" for sprintf("%s",NULL) instead of dereferencing
the Null pointer.
Perhaps random object selection for display should reject the extra
description objects in some classes. This susbstitutes a different
object if examining the map encounters one of those.

Data typo affecting '?' command's "longer explanation of game options".
Change the indication of menu_objsym's default value from [5] to [4]
since 4 is the actual default value in the code and the Guidebook.
Pull request from Umbire: starting gear for angelic beings should
use recently added silver mace instead of old ordinary mace.
It's simpler to just type in the change than to merge the commit.

Issue reported by Umbire: a gas spore that got swallowed and killed
didn't die but exploded anyway, with the explosion affecting the map
instead of being contained in the swallower.
There was code to handle that but it wasn't being executed. This fix
feels unclean but seems to work.
I couldn't reproduce the survival of the gas spore but since that
isn't wanted I won't worry about it.
Fixes#1434
Issue reported by by vultur-cadens: a vampire lord or lady might change
to wolf form while flying over water or lava, ending flight and dropping
into that water or lava. It would then drown or burn up, revert to
vampire leader form and resume flying, then be teleported since it was
past the check for being in flight.
The fix is pretty staightforward. It is still possible to force wolf
form with the monpolycontrol option, leaving the wolf standing on water
(didn't test for lava) and then drowning on its next move, where it will
revert to vampire form but no longer teleport away. There's no need for
a wizard mode hack to behave more stringently.

Don't record hallucinated monsters as having been seen up close or as
photographed.
Treat a tourist's starting pet has having been photographed prior to
bringing the camera and dog or cat into the dungeon.
No extra points to tourist when first long worm tail is photographed.
EDITLEVEL is incremented again, for extra context to track starting
pet.
More details in https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/issues/1430
track photographed monsters using a distinct bit
also adds a pair of new context fields to track the total number of monsters seen up close,
and the total number of monsters photographed.
So, if somebody wants to add unique end-of-game disclosure statements for tourists that relate to
those, the groundwork should be there.
NOTE: This increments EDITLEVEL, so existing save and bones files will become outdated.

From "Monsters trapped in pits cannot kick" two weeks ago. Avoid
uhitm.c:5505:9: warning: unannotated fall-through between switch labels [-Wimplicit-fallthrough]
Recent clang wants C23's [[fallthrough]] attribute rather than just
the lint '/*FALLTHRU*/' comment.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed ncurses 6.5 requires the one in
/usr/include/ncursesw/curses.h, if ncursesw is being used.
Otherwise, several needed function prototypes are not there.
Fixes#1427
Add some basic spellcasting stuff to the tutorial: read a spellbook,
cast a spell. If the hero doesn't have enough energy, just adds
a note saying so.
Remove/restore the known spells when entering/leaving the tutorial.
