update, rip curses

Add "Devastator", since its base type is a club. Also, remove the "better for the strong" section, which is irrelevant since 0.9 (commit 4132b1ac)

-There is almost no reason you should ever fight with a '''club'''; they are strictly inferior to [[whip]]s, which are almost as commonplace. While a club is marginally more powerful than 0 skill [[Unarmed Combat]], you should take a whip, [[dagger]], or [[short sword]] whenever possible, as they are all better options.
+Clubs are strictly inferior to [[whip]]s, which are almost as commonplace. They are marginally more powerful than 0 skill [[Unarmed Combat]], but whips, [[dagger]]s, and [[short sword]]s are all stronger for a 0 skill character.
 Very occasionally, an early [[unique]] like [[Jessica]] or [[Ijyb]] might spawn with a highly-enchanted club, giving you a vaguely acceptable weapon early on, but you'll still want to look for something stronger, faster, and/or with a [[brand]]. [[Killer Klown]]s all carry branded, highly-enchanted clubs, but by the time you've reached the [[Realm of Zot]], you'll have access to dozens of better weapons.
