PatR d26537c4c9 fix github issue #608 - #untrap vs web
Reported by Vivit-R, the chance of freeing a monster from being
trapped in a web was very small and failure resulted in creation of
a new web at the hero's spot, eventually making it impossible to
attempt to #untrap the monster (if hero escaped the new web and moved
to another spot adjacent to trapped monster, eventually surrounding
it with webs).  [That's actually misleading.  Escaping the new web
but staying at the same spot lets the player try again; repeat as
needed....  But chance of failure still seemed way too high.]

This reduces the chance of failure from 29/30 to 6/7 and makes the
chance of spreading the web after failure be 1/3 instead of 100%.  It
also supplies missing feedback about the monster still being trapped
if the attempt to make a new web fails.

Closes #608
