Add a "patrolling" flag to monster creation in mapdef and dungeon.cc,
and add it to Orb Guardians in Zot:5. At least in theory, they should
now be returning to their starting points if you flee and stay away
for long enough.
"In theory" because the bad monster pathfinding prevents them
from actually finding their way back. We've got the same problem
with minotaurs in labyrinths, who've also got this flag set. Because
of these restrictions it's almost impossible to test whether it would
work without such problems. In any case, it's there for later.
Also: spacing and commenting fixes in dungeon.cc.
