lost ball and chain (trunk only)

Saving the game while punished, not carrying the attached ball,
and while swallowed by a purple worm resulted in losing the
ball and chain.

Since the required information was not being written to the
save file at all, I couldn't come up with a clean way to do this
for the branch, and preserve save file format. I could think
of lots of kludgy ways to do it (insert ball and chain into
the hero's inventory prior to saving, and remove it on restore, etc.)
