PatR 80d3abcf00 fix github pull request #26 - validating #explore ...

Fixes #26

Report stated that the attempt to look up the player's username
(on Unix) failed (reason unknown) and nethack refused to allow the
player to execute the #explore command even though sysconf was set
to use character names (CHECK_PLNAME=1) instead of user names.
Setting EXPLORERS to "*" overcomes this glitch, but the fix moves
a bit of code around to honor CHECK_PLNAME before fetching username
so that that isn't necessary.

I ended up doing some formattng clean up (replace tabs with spaces,
whitespace cleanup in 'port_insert_pastebuf()').  The actual change
to fix #26 is only a few lines.
