CF: Darkness spell fix

[Jan Echternach <>]

This patch is now in the CVS tree.  I had already sent it to this list
a while ago but it wasn't applied at that time.


server/spell_effect.c: magic_wall():  Duration of darkness spell now
implemented with op->stats.food.  This avoids problems with very low
speed values that were interpreted as infinite duration.
lib/spell_params:  Changed duration parameters of darkness spell to
give a reasonable duration with the new formula.
