Remove darts.

They don't have much use outside the first level of D (possibly
also the second): popping spores, killing slow things, waking up
sleeping monsters, etc. are all served just as well by stones,
and anybody who really wants to do damage with throwing would be
better served with tomahawks before they find javelins. For one
case where they could be useful (dispersal), tomahawks have been
given a chance at the dispersal brand.
