mark jabberwocks as M1_NOHANDS

     Jabberwocks are flagged as animals hence won't use items, or else
this would have been obvious long ago.  They weren't flagged as no-hands,
so a hero in their form could wear gloves and/or wield a weapon (or a
cockatrice corpse, whose ineffectiveness when used with a claw attack
which followed a bite attack led to the discovery of this oversight).
I'm not sure what a jabberwock ultimately looks like, but am pretty sure
that it shouldn't have usable hands, particularly ones which are only
usable by a poly'd hero and not by jabberwock monsters.
