I've fixed most of the grey drac inconsistencies (will push later, but
basically: they don't swim).
Last thing that bugs me is: should statue and lich form be able to cross
deep water like grey drac?
there's a res_water_drowning() function in player.cc, which itself check
is_unbreathing(). But res_water_drowning() only reduce damage against water
beams. Should this actually prevents the player from drowning in deep water?
If yes, this will allow statue and lich form to walk into deep water, just
like grey drac. If not, I guess we should rename the function!
