PatR db9dddc535 fix #H4262 - mon weapon attacks for non-weapon dmg ...

Let monsters who have a weapon attack for non-physical damage dish
out physical damage instead of doing the drain life or drain
strength they usually do if they happen to be wielding cockatrice
corpses or a couple of particular aritfacts that do more harm
than just level drain.  (Other artifacts are candidates, but I
don't think it's worth checking for them since the monsters
involved have such a small chance of acquiring and wielding them.)
Also switch to physical if monster's ability has been cancelled.

Only barrow wight, Nazgul, and erinys are affected.  Yeenoghu and
the Master Assassin have a weapon attack for physical damage and
another one for non-physical damage (not necessarily delivered in
that order).  They haven't been changed--only the physical damage
attack has a chance to apply their weapon's special damage.
