U659 - "destroy" manes

Nethack's manes are based on AD&D manes which are in turn based on the
manes of Roman legend.  They are supposed to be spirits of the dead.
To that end, added them to the nonliving() macro.  The biggest behavioral
change is that death spells no longer effect them, which does technically
make them a bit tougher but also makes sense.  Also, they're so wimpy, it's
hard to believe anyone would use a death/disintegration on them anyway.
