nethack.rankin a1a4a45033 fix #H291 - rogue backstab anomaly (trunk only) ...

From a bug report:  rogue's backstab bonus
(extra damage when foe is fleeing) doesn't apply when dual-wielding but
does apply to thrown weapons--unless both conditions apply.  Having it
apply to throwing is too powerful.  Elbereth makes it trivial to get
monsters to flee and a rogue with expert dagger skill can throw up to 4
of those at a time, so a level 30 rogue could get rnd(30) bonus 4 times
in a single attack.  This makes the backstab bonus only applicable to
melee and polearm attacks.
