Modify menu_colour_item_prefix() to also handle stuff like contaminated

or poisonous chunks. 

Throw out all those special cases in food_colouring.txt and
replace them with logic. I sure hope I got all special cases, but if
not they should be easy enough to add. The functions are currently all 
in food.cc but they could easily be moved over to clua.cc and adapted 
accordingly if needed.

New prefix shortcuts:
* inedible (full herbi/carnivorousness, rotten food for non-saprovores)
* preferred (respects foovorousness, rotten for ghouls, royal jelly for
             everyone)
* poisonous
* contaminated
* mutagenic
* rot-inducing

(I also added one-liners to the descriptions of chunks of those types.)

The changes apply to all menu types, but they don't handle messages.
This is problematic in that you'd have to check the pickup menu to see 
which corpses are worth butchering, but I'm still against keeping all
those manual checks for (currently) poisonous/mutagenic/... corpses, 
esp. as information like this can date quickly. 
Instead the butchering interface should be improved to somehow handle 
that, possibly by overriding the prompt colour with the specified 
colour if necessary. I don't think there are any other cases where
this is important.

Also add a prefix for equipped items and artefacts, so they can be
easily checked for as well. I really think the identified/unidentified 
prefix should become default (and the option removed) - this allows 
for easy differentiation between identified and non-identified 
artefacts. The "known" prefix (for known wand charges or enchantments)
is a bit less interesting but wouldn't hurt any (I think).
