v0.9.7 - May 31st, 2022 Build

An even smaller release primarily for Junethack 2022 featuring a few bugfixes, but a couple of larger changes went in as well.

• Added a new technique from Slash'EM-Up: Shield Block, requires a shield to be worn but when used all physical attacks are blocked by the shield, with the damage being subtracted from your energy instead of HP. Lasts for d(3,4) + TECHLEV turns. Knights, Valks and Warriors get this technique at level 1, Gladiators and Paladins at level 3, and Undead Slayers and Priests at level 7.
• Implemented the Astral Escape patch by Chi, enabled by default in config.h
• Implemented the Extra Status Attributes patch by paxed
• Refactored the wounds patch to be based on Unnethack's code. tl;dr, gives the player slightly more detail, with less message spam and can be turned off entirely with the "wounds" option.
