Longer messages would cause the "Preview lines" separator line to wrap.
Chasing 40 column issues is a bit of a rabbit hole, so I think I'll pause
for now.

In terminals < 80 cols in width, only the message # and "from" field are shown
in listings, so don't show column headings for fields that aren't shown.
Display a '-' in the flag column for deleted messages (that aren't flagged).
Shorten the prompt when listing msgs for terminals narrower than 64 cols
(for phigz). I don't know of any systems/terminals that use 64 cols however.

DD Message area chooser: Lightbar mode name collapsing: Ensure the intermediate subgroup is selected

though the DEL key is still supported

For terminals that can't easily send a DEL (0x7F) character.
As requested by phigz in IRC.

Ragnarok (DOCKSUD) would like to use lang_COUNTRY for their language files
as  "I use es_AR and is exactly not same to es_ES"

It's trivial to extend the length more if there's a desire to do that.
That's a nice thing about the new (in v3.20) user.tab file format.

Fix issue #667

I'm not sure why these warnings just started popping up (maybe the inclusion
of string in sbbs.h), but it only seems to happen in debug builds and the
possible truncation is intentional.

Really, these should just be loadable modules (not loaded via text.dat
@exec and global variable magic), and merged into a single module, but for
now, this will do.

The old yesnobar.src/bin and noyesbar mods aren't used when these .js files
are in place, unless you have a copy yesnobar/noyesbar.bin in your mods dir.

And added the other new strings.

C++ Builder6 doesn't have unordered_map, so only #include those std C++
headers if/where we actually need them.

Though, with v3.20, this file isn't strictly needed, at least for new scripts,
you can use bbs.text.[string_id] to get the number associated with a text.dat
string, so bbs.text(bbs.text.Yes) == "Yes" (by default, for English).

Whoohoo, I'm a reel STL programmerz n0w!

DDMsgReader: Personal emails addressed to 'sysop' (or starting with 'sysop') now marked as read properly

error: ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer

Uses the new ctrl/text.??.ini files (just a few words translated so far).
Adds the new "lang" user property (to user.tab and JS User class).
The language code is the 2-3 char (e.g. ISO 639-1) abbreviation of a language.
A "blank" language property value (the default), just means to use the
ctrl/text.dat contents.
User-selected alternate language file is loaded upon logon and in the
built-in/hard-coded user default settings menu.
More on the user default settings menu:
- AutoLogin via IP option ('I') to make room for new (I) Language option.
- The cold-keys menu option was removed to make room for Language option
  (via text.dat change to UserDefaultsHotKey)
- Any options disabled via blank text.dat strings will no longer result in
  supported command keys (that could accidentally be struck with hidden
  consequences/effect)
- The user_settings.js will need similar treatment

text/menu/<lang>/* is where alternate language menu files should be stored

New UserDefaultsLanguage text.dat string (inserted before new PasswordChar
string).

This fixes the issue with the ContinueQ setting in ctrl/text.??.ini when
attempting to use one of them to replace text.dat strings with localized text.

In a fresh install, neither of these files would exist, and that's normal,
so getstats() should just return true in that case (with the stats struct
zeroed-out).

Fixes error during login to a new install reported by Zoltán Gábor on
