PatR 0ef58589f1 place_object vs multiple boulders
When place_object() puts a non-boulder underneath a boulder, make it
put the non-boulder under all the boulders there rather than just under
the topmost one.  Otherwise the map display will show the non-boulder
rather than the 2nd boulder if the top boulder gets moved away by some
means other than pushing.  (Pushing explicitly brings lower boulder to
top of pile in order to try to push it next.)

Reproduce by:  wish for boulder--it will drop.  Drop something else--
the something-else will end up under the boulder.  Repeat.  The second
boulder will be on top but the second something-else will be next in
the pile, above the first boulder.  Now polymorph into a giant and pick
up the first boulder, then move away from that spot.  Map will show
second something-else instead of the remaining boulder.

This fairly simple fix should work reliably on new games since boulders
will end up being consecutive on the top of piles.  For old games,
boulders after the topmost could be anywhere and still yield a display
glitch, but since that's all the problem is (I hope...), we ought to
be able to live with that until old games eventually go away.

[A map display glitch doesn't explain a corrupted 'uball' so this fix
doesn't solve that.]

This fixes36.3 file is here to capture information about updates in the 3.6.x
lineage following the release of 3.6.2 in May 2019. Please note, however,
that another 3.6.x release is not anticipated, and most developer
focus will shift to the next major release.
General Fixes and Modified Features
-----------------------------------
when place_object() puts a non-boulder on the map at a spot which contains
other objects, put it under all boulders in the pile rather than just
under the top one; previously, map wasn't showing a boulder there if
the top one got moved by means other than pushing
