First draft of the spell noisyness system: spells cast by the player and by

wizard/priest monsters now make noise, with the loudness depending upon level
and spell disciplines: conjuration spells have a loudness equal to their level,
spells containing only air and/or poison equal to 50% of their level (rounded
up), and everything else to 75% of the level (rounded up).  This undoudedtly
needs rebalancing, and a better level+disciplines -> loudness formula.  Also,
each spell can have it's loudness tweaked from the default via the noise_mod
field of the spell_desc field in spl-data.h, for those spells whose desired
loudness don't quite fit into whatever formula is used.

The messages used to announce a spell have been moved out to
source/dat/database/monspell.txt, which uses the same format and conventions as
monspeak.txt.  So far this has just been used to make invisible wizard/priest
monsters give a message to the player if the player can hear them cast, and
also to make curse skulls and Murray not "gesture wildly".  However, it could
be used to give a greater variety of spell announcement messages based upon the
spell used or the monster's type/species/genus, and/or to give multi-part
messages.
