The Stabbing skill went to a dark alley, and, you know...

Per one of proposals, its effect is now an average of the weapon skill
and Stealth.  Stabbing tiers remain as before:
* daggers
* other short blades
* long blades, spears, small club
* other stuff

Let's see how this works.  We can always change the formulas, and at
least the skill is gone.
