PatR d8aa4c0b1f still more brides of Dracula
Another tweak to PR #1240.  Vampires start out vampshifted to
bat/fog/wolf form.  Marking them as 'waiting' forces them back to
vampire form.  Testing that revealed one of the brides as a vampire
lord rather than a vampire lady.  That could probably be construed
as being politically correct but doesn't match the source material.

The reversion from vampshifted to vampire entailed a 10% chance of
toggling gender, comparable to hero self-polymorph.  Don't do that
for vampires.  From the player's perspective they change randomly but
from their own perspective, the change is controlled.
