KYRA: (EOB2) - workaround for minor graphics glitch

The game would actually allow placing the 4 horns or the large red rings from the ringmaster riddle into the inventory ring slots. Simply, because these items are flagged that way in the data file (itemtype.dat). I wasn't aware of this until I happened to come across some youtube video. The video was from DosBox, but this doesn't make a difference.

This patch prevents placing these items into the ring slots.
