'fix' #H5531 - breath damage

For breath damage, the 'S' in NdS is ignored.  'N' for the number of
dice is used, but for number of sides of those dice, 6 is used for
most damage types.  Add a comment to that effect to monst.c and change
a few Nd8 to Nd6 so that viewing the monster definitions matches what
they actually do.
