PatR 3f3bec8687 fix github issue #150 - delayed encumbrance msg ...

Fixes #150

> A very minor one, but there are some situations where your encumbrance
> level can change, but the message (such as '`Your movements are now
> unencumbered.`') isn't given until your next move or turn, even though
> the status line updates immediately.  For example, praying while weak
> and gaining a point of strength.  Picking up or dropping items or
> interacting with containers does _not_ have this problem.

This is usually fixed on a case by case basis.  Any attempt to add
blanket encumbrance check mid-turn (when updating status, for instance)
is sure to introduce message sequencing problems.  Perhaps such a check
could be added at the end of the hero's move....

This fix handles the cases where prayer causes a change to strength:
major: fix starvation, minor: fix weak from hunger, boon: golden glow
(restore strength and satisfy hunger--probably no-ops in this regard
or would have had trouble fixed rather than receive a boon).  Directly
curing stat loss (minor: poisoned) already dealt with encumbrance.

Not at all related.  That movement bug affected 3.6.0 but was fixed in
3.6.1.
