Just for kicks, reuse monster property mname to name zombies/skeletons

raised from unique monster's corpses. The unique number is stored in
orig_monnum, so this doesn't apply to orcish followers.
I thought it would be cool to have Sigmund the human zombie in your
ranks, or to fight againt Blork the orc skeleton.
The corpses are currently not differentiated (just "human corpse",
"orc skeleton"), just the resulting undead.
