eating tins while poly'd (trunk only)

     While testing something, I noticed that I could eat a tin (off the
floor) while polymorphed into a bat.  The code to check whether the hero
could open a tin was testing for limbs, so winged critters passed.  Now
it requires hands instead of limbs, and also that the current form be big
enough to be capable of wielding something (even though you don't need to
be wielding anything to open a tin).

     This means that a hero poly'd into a dog or cat will no longer be
able to serve him-/herself dinner from a tin....
