fix pline.c potential buffer overruns
Fix 'Bugs 4, 5, and 6' which all use a similar fix but would have
conflicts over '#define BIGBUFSZ' if committed separately.
Format ("short explanation %s", string_argument), where the
explanation always has modest length but the string is potentially
up to 4*BUFSZ in length, into a 5*BUFSZ buffer. Then truncate the
result to at most BUFSZ-1 characters so that it can be safely passed
to interface-specific putstr() or raw_print().
Applies to pline(), raw_printf(), and config_error_add(). Also done
for impossible() although there's no evidence that its buffer could
be overflowed in a controlled manner.

Fix 'Bug 3' where too long SYMBOL=string in run-time config file could

Valid value is only one character long after processing an 'escaped'

backslash M backslash and up three digits. If/when UTF8 gets added
the number of digits will increase. Use a truncated copy of the input

allow run-from-removable-device configuration on Windows
Allow a way to configure NetHack to run entirely from a USB stick
or other removable device in a way that allows everything to
reside entirely on the USB stick, and nothing on the computer's
hard drive. That could be done in versions prior to 3.6.3.
Sample:
i: is a USB stick
i:\nhdist contains the NetHack Windows distribution and a sysconf
file dropped into that distribution with the following entry in it:
portable_device_top = nethack
No device is included in the portable_device_top entry, the device
is always the device that the nethack exe resides on. If you try
to specify a device in the portable_device_top path, the device
portion will be ignored.
portable_device_top specifies the folder on the device that is writable
by NetHack and as such it cannot be the same folder that the executable
resides in.

Fix compilation on platforms that split the ncurses and tinfo libraries
Some platforms compile ncurses in such a way that the tinfo library needs to
be separately linked in (e.g. Gentoo).
The tinfo library is a low-level library being used by and bundled with
ncurses.
Adding '-ltinfo' to WINTTYLIB in the hint files was considered the most robust
solution to this problem. This still works on systems with ncurses 5.9.
Using pkg-config was ruled out as the default build of ncurses doesn't install
the necessary files.
When picking up from floor or removing from container fails because
there aren't any inventory slots available, pickup/take-out stops.
But the message
|Your knapsack can't accomodate any more items.
is inaccurate if there is gold beyond the stopping point. Actually
continuing in order to pickup/take-out gold would require substantial
changes, but varying the message to be
|Your knapsack can't accomodate any more items (except gold).
when stopping is a one line fix. The parenthesized remark is only
added if there is actually some gold after the current object and is
given regardless of whether autopickup happens to be targetting it.

has_color() performance fixes
Performance profiling showed that multiple strcmpi() calls were
occurring each and every time a character was going to the map.
This update:
- honors the WC_COLOR capability
- It allows a window-port to control individual color availability should the window-port wish to do so.
- Makes checking on the individual colors for the active window-port is a straightforward table lookup at the CLR_ offset.
iflags.use_color remains a master on/off switch for use of color, regardless of the capability
compiled into the game (default TRUE).
The has_color() routine, which is now a shared routine in src/windows.c, could likely be made
into a simple macro to eliminate the function call, but this update does not go that far.
This hits a lot of port files due to the window-port interface change, mostly cookie-cutter.

fix part of #H9467 - clairvoyance vs sensed mons
When a monster is drawn on the map, remove any "remembered, unseen
monster" glyph being shown at the same spot. Clairvoyance shows
all monsters in vicinty, then ones which can't be seen are replaced
with the 'I' glyph (which is on the object layer or the display,
not the monster layer show is subject to different update behavior).
But subsequent monster refresh didn't get rid of it when a sensed
monster was displayed over it. (3.6.1 included a similar fix for
warned-of monsters.)
Also during clairvoyance, don't draw an 'I' at a spot that will
immediately be refreshed with a monster because 'I' clobbers any
remembered object at the same location.
