PatR cee9426694 fix #H4038 - distant name vs Eyes of the Overworld
distant_name() temporarily blinded the hero before calling xname() or
doname() in order to prevent the object being formatted from having
its dknown flag set.  The Eyes of the Overworld override blindness, so
that bit got set for heros wearing them regardless of intention.  This
switches to a file-scope global instead of blindness as the way that
distant_name() tells xname() not to set dknown.

This bug has been present ever since the Eyes were added (3.3.0?).
