PatR 064523e162 mon name of monster appearing as another monster ...

When a monster mimicks another monster (traditionally Double Trouble
Wizard, since 3.6.x also pet that eats a mimic corpse), using farlook
or getpos+autodescribe revealed the monster's real identity.  Hard to
believe that nobody ever noticed, but it was obvious when a pet dog
quick-mimicked a cat or vice versa.

Add an extra x_monnam() flag to ignore monst->m_ap_type==M_AP_MONSTER
plus monst->mappearance.  Only the m_monnam() variation of x_monnam()
includes it (via EXACT_NAME); monnam() and the rest will now describe
an M_AP_MONSTER by its appearance rather than as its true self.
