Squeaky boards (and other noisy things) woke up monsters that were
meditating. Unfortunately this also woke up such meditating monsters
as the Wiz, or the quest nemesis.
Prevent unique monsters with waiting strategy being woken up by the noise.
Manually reformat objects.c so that it's a bit easier to work with,
prior to possibly modifying it. I wrote objects[] and obj_descr[].*
to files before and after and they were byte-for-byte identical, so
the revised objects.c hasn't introduced any changes. It was done
from scratch rather than reverting to the pre-clang-format edition.
There was nothing particularly wrong with the uniform spacing
produced by the automated reformat, but organizing things in columns
and/or controlling where the line splits occur make changes and
comparisons easier.
artilist.h and monst.c should probably be redone too, but I don't
think I going to get around to tackling them.
Previous boulder symbol fix unearthed another problem:
When no boulder symbol was defined in config file, the default
iflags.bouldersym null value was used as a symbol.
Boulder symbol could not be changed in config file with
"SYMBOLS=S_boulder:0" because the glyph code was checking
iflags.bouldersym; that is only set if boulder symbol
is changed with the deprecated "OPTIONS=boulder:0" way.

So make yellow and black lights floaters.
rather than always use a menu. Only affects menustyle:traditional and
can be overridden at the time by using the 'm' prefix before the #tip
command.
When using the menu, add an explicit pick-from-inventory choice. The
behavior there stays the same: ask about inventory if no floor container
is chosen.
I started out cleaning up a bit of lint in the recent run-time options
handling and discovered that pmatchregex wasn't finished. Finish it and
also deal with the version lint. Argument declarations for function
definitions in pmatchregex.c have been switched to K&R style. (The ones
in posixregex.c have been left in ANSI style.)
There wasn't any build rule for pmatchregex.o; now there is (for Unix).
posixregex.o is still the default.
There isn't any build rule for cppregex.o (again, for Unix); the change
to cppregex.cpp is untested.

Add a couple more tribute easter eggs.
- can lead to a remark by Death if you happen to have a pratchett book on
your person, as suggested by M. Stephenson (fat chance you will, or
think to #chat if you do, but it could be a tournament novelty or something
obscure to strive for).
- can draw some additional Death quotes from the tribute file. (There's two
in there right now. If anyone wants to add or suggest some more, please go
ahead. The Death quotes are at the end of the tribute file. One-liners
only please or the code will only pull the last line.
It's a lot of passages, even when leaving out ones about Cresote and
King Midas (or whatever name his Discworld analog has), Nanny Ogg's cat,
Ridcully's custom made wizard hat, and the mention of a law which
requires that bystanders be warned before commencing to play folk music.
Three fixes, the first leading to the need to fix the second, and that
fix making dealing with the third be straightforward.
First, make the furthest level reached in any given branch be considered
interesting by #overview, even if no interesting features have been
encountered. This will result in listing Gnomish Mines and their first
level when someone goes down the stairs and immediately back up. It will
also produce a reminder of how far you've been--in each branch--after
retreating for any reason, without the need to manually add an annotation.
Second, #overview was suppressing the range of level numbers for Sokoban
because the author realized that the values were wrong. The record of
the furthest level reached was incorrect for builds-up branches, always
sticking with the deepest level even though it was the entrance. The
overview patch neglected to do the same suppression for Vlad's Tower and
the level range ("36 to 38" or similar) there was wrong. This fixes the
furthest level reached problem and also fixes #overview's level range
handling for builds-up branches.
Third and last, a long-standing issue which I don't think has ever been
formally reported: the level difficulty calculation used for monster
creation treated the upper (harder to get to) levels of builds-up branches
as if they were easier since they're closer to the surface as the gopher
burrows. So sokoban generated easier monsters on its final level than on
the ones leading up to that. Make depth for difficulty purposes account
for descent to the entrance and then ascent to the level of interest.
There was a distressing amount of trial and error involved. The dungeon
layout structures are not exactly easy to work with, and I never managed
to get builds_up() based on branch data to work correctly. Basing it on
dungeon data works as intended provided the branch has more than one
level, but it will yield incorrect result if we ever add a single-level
branch reached via stairs up rather than stairs down.

I've also added some of Boudewijn's suggestions and
added his name in a comment for easy reference
when validating the content agains the book.
mtmp->cham was NON_PM, which select_newcham_form interpreted as a completely
random form. This also resulted Vlad getting a random shape, and not getting
the Candelabrum, making the game unwinnable.
