The Copyright notice is placed by tty internal routines writing onto
the BASE_WINDOW fairly early in the startup sequence.
The prompt to "Destroy old game? [yn] (n)" is using the in-game
routine to write to the message window at the top of the screen and
prompt there, just like in-game prompts and messages.
If the player answered 'y' to that, the prompt for
"Shall I pick character's race, role, gender and alignment..."
appeared immediately after. That one, however, is written using
the BASE_WINDOW routines in tty, like the copyright notice.
This change does the following:
It moves the copyright lines down a little bit leaving room for the
"Destroy.." prompts.
It places the "Shall I pick characters's..." prompt further down the
screen by default, leaving some room for about 3 raw_print startup
messages after the copyright notice, just in case there are any.
The "Shall I pick character's..." prompt will still appear immediately
if there is a prompt such as "Destroy old game?..."
There were a couple of other issues around raw_print startup messages
too. Those are delivered using a raw_print mechanism to ensure they
are written even if the window-port is not fully operational. However,
they were only on the screen for the blink of an eye. This call
sequence in restore.c made them disappear almost immediately:
docrt() -> cls()
Put in a mechanism to detect the presence of raw_print messages
from the early startup, and if there were some, wait for a
keypress before obliterating the unread notifications.

Fix: vampire shapeshifting in a door
Someone mentioned in #nethack today that a vampire had turned into a fog
cloud, moved under a door, then turned back into a vampire while still
sharing a space with a closed door. There already existed some code
intended to prevent this in cases where the vampire is killed in one
form and revives in another, but voluntary transformations (from
decide_to_shapeshift) weren't included. The existing code in mondead
and vamp_stone also apparently missed a minor edge case: because the
code between the definition of in_door and its use included an expels
call, it would be outdated/incorrect in cases where expels() placed the
fog cloud onto a closed door.

Reset justpicked only when picking up items
With reset_justpicked called unconditionally near the top of pickup, it
was impossible to pick up some items, walk over to a chest, and use 'P'
to deposit the items with autopickup on: pickup is called with every
move, and autopickup allowed execution to reach the reset_justpicked
call whenever the hero stepped on a square with an item in it. As a
result, stepping onto a square with a container would clear all the
justpicked flags in inventory (pressing ',' and then declining to pick
anything up would have a similar effect).
Instead, call reset_justpicked only when the hero (or autopickup) has
actually selected an item to pick up. This makes the code a bit more
complicated than before -- I don't think there's a way to do it with
just one reset_justpicked call any more, due to the structure of pickup
and the need to call reset_justpicked before actually putting any items
into inventory -- but it means that justpicked info will be much less
ephemeral and more useful when managing stashes, etc.

on the most recent preceding line having a letter in the leftmost

But after switching to ANSI-style definitions it is--except when an
