Summary: Things growing in the dungeon

Initial Comment:
What this patch does:
   Makes the dungeons feel a bit more living; herbs
grow on the
   ground, water has currents that move items, trees
grow into
   forests and spontaneously drop overripe fruits, with
appropriate
   rainforesty sounds. :)


Possible problems:
  o  src/hack.c is probably not the best place for this
code.
  o  Currently the growths are not limited in any way.
      The growths are quite slow, so I don't think this
will be
      a big problem in a normal game.
      One solution would be to keep a counter for each
dungeonlevel, 
      how many ground-herbs, water-herbs, and trees
have been made, 
      and make the chances of new ones decrease the
more there has
      been made before. 
  o  Catching up with the growths after the hero has
been away
      can take a noticeable time on a slow computer.
      The same happens when saving a game.
      Solution: ???

Bugs:
  o  I tested the patch with several wizardmode games,
with
     over 1 million turns each, and nothing obvious
popped.
