nethack.rankin c2a3a3a38b fix #H239 - doppleganger/mimic bug ...

From a bug report:  a shapechanger
which becomes a mimic would always stay as 'm' rather than take on object
or furniture shape.  Same applied to monsters which hide in other ways.
The code did that deliberately, but I don't think that it's actually
necessary so this lets them mimic/hide when they're in the right shape.
If they change form to non-mimic/hider while concealed, concealment ends.

     It would be fun to have shapechangers-as-mimics actually change their
mimicked shapes periodically, but this doesn't do that.  They'd probably
change to non-mimic quicker than they'd mimic something else so it's not
worth the effort.
