IMPORT (elliptic): Cap melee noise at shouting volume.

 It didn't make much sense that you could make as much noise as Shatter just by
 hitting a monster really hard.
IMPORT (kilobyte): Exempt plants and non-livings from the "friend died" conduct.
IMPORT (elliptic): Make staff acquirement less deterministic.

 This provided too easy a way for casters to get the staff of their dreams
 (the chance was 95% to get a staff of fire if you weren't carrying one and
 fire was your top skill, for instance). Now some of that probability is
 moved into the non-enhancer staves.
