nhmall 39ecdd6075 writing type-named scrolls pr#551 ...

entrez commented in https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/pull/551 on Jul 16,
2021:
"When using a marker, it is possible to write a scroll based on the
 type-name assigned to it by the user. Somewhat unintuitively, this
 system broke down if the assigned name was identical to the real name of
 a scroll type: trying to write a scroll by its previously-assigned name
 'scare mon' or 'id' would be guaranteed to succeed, but this wouldn't be
 the case if the user-assigned name was 'scare monster' or 'identify'.

 Revise dowrite(write.c) to prefer a user-assigned type-name to the
 real name of a scroll that isn't already formally known, while
 continuing to prefer the real name of an identified scroll to both."
