Commit e3af33c9db in June changed
curses handling for perm_invent to strip off doname()'s "a ", "an ",
or "the " prefix in order to shorten inventory entries and get a
couple of significant extra characters before end-of-line truncation.
That had an unintended impact on menu colors pattern matching for
patterns which expected the article prefix. Do the matching before
stripping off the prefix instead of after so that the matching gives
the same results as when used on a normal inventory menu (even though
this means that from the user's perspective most perm_invent entries
will have invisible text at the start).
Also for menu colors, don't require curses-specific 'guicolor' option
be enabled when the general, more-specific 'menucolors' option exists
to control menu coloring. (curses was requiring that both be True.)
