change to how AT_TURN_UNDEAD works




I don't much like the fact that holy word will nuke items.
It really shouldn't. 

The ability of that spell to both turn the undead and do damage to them
was done by means of OR-ing AT_PHYSICAL with AT_TURN_UNDEAD.

Objects exposed to holy word have to make saving throws agains 
physical damage.

This caused holy word to destroy items like scrolls and spellbooks and food etc...

Is there any reason not to change attack.c and the archetypes so
that both holy word and turn undead spells both do AT_TURN_UNDEAD,
except that turn undead spell will have a dam of zero and 
holy word will have a damage base of 3?
Will this break anything?
