PatR 0128fcdf6c fix github issue #1289 - odd "unexplored area" ...

Issue reported by ars3niy:  an arrow trap covered by more than
one stack of arrows was described by farlook as "unexplored area".
Later simplified to any object pile with plain arrows on top; the
trap turned out to be irrelevant aside from producing a pile of
arrow stacks.

This problem turns out to be due to an off by 1 error introduced
into the xxx_is_piletop() macros when generic objects were added in
mid-January of last year, and plain arrow is the first real object
so suffered from the bug.  Misclassifying the glyph at a specific
location also confused the #terrain command but it's the same bug.

Knowing what was wrong (map glyph was UNEXPLORED when it should
have been ARROW) wasn't sufficient to figure out the problem.
Without the simplified way of reproducing the problem, I would
never have managed to use 'git bisect' to find the offending commit
because that would have been too time consuming.

Fixes #1289
