[1.0.1] Prohibit use of psychoportation with frozen chars

I pressed my psychoportation talent accidentally when frozen, and it triggered, giving me 29 cooldown next to a wrom that walks on nightmare roguelike. Needless to say I died.
I can't see why it couldn't be the case that you can't activate a talent like this when frozen.

If you are having trouble accidentally triggering talents, you should consider enabling confirmation for those talents.
ToME is quite good at not letting the player try to use abilities that cannot possible succeed. So here is a patch that prevents you from triggering teleportation when frozen:

DG, can this be implemented?

Greying it out would be a nice idea. In fact there are several situations in which this happens already, an example being that if you're pinned you can't use Rush or Shadowstep (it will refuse to work and tell you that it can't work). For new players, especially me, it wasn't clear that teleportation would fail when I was frozen since it wasn't greyed out like Rush usually is.

Given the fact that other talents already do this, I second the idea of greying out teleportation and psychoportation while frozen.

Then again, 'porting maybe your only way out.
