PatR cb1309cd41 address #H5931 - bug with shape-shifted vampires ...

[Subject was actually "possible bug with shape-shifted vampires".]
The observation was that a pet vampire which took on fog cloud form
would just stay a fog cloud, rendering it nearly useless as a pet.
Fog clouds are too weak to attack dangerous monsters so are rarely
subject to damage from counter-attacks, so they wouldn't even get
killed to revert to vampire form.

Make a vampire in fog cloud form--hostile or tame--sometimes change
to bat form if not in view or out of missile range (the same criteria
used by vampires to change into alternate shape to begin with).  Bats
are slightly more useful as pets and definitely more prone to revert
to vampire.  The potential transformation from bat to cloud isn't
done randomly; that already occurs when encountering closed doors.
