Review item recall

Description

When *ID* goes (#158), then descriptions need looking at again. Stores need one function, character dumps need another, and on-screen display needs another, as the points of interest change between them.

Consider fixing the "subwindow" display of objects.

Consider also making item recall more terse.

Actually, it could be argued that in "cannot be harmed" description mode "cannot be harmed by _" should be mentioned only if it makes a difference.

Ideally, we'd get the best of both worlds. Items would list what they're vulnerable to by type after the things they're /usually/ vulnerable to but aren't in this instance.

It is vulnerable to acid and fire. It cannot be harmed by fire, but is vulnerable to acid. It cannot be harmed by acid or fire.
